Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments a via is formed over a semiconductor device, wherein the semiconductor device is encapsulated within an encapsulant  129 . A metallization layer and a second via are formed over and in electrical connection with the first via, and the metallization layer and the second via are formed using the same seed layer. Embodiments include fully landed vias, partially landed vias in contact with the seed layer, and partially landed vias not in contact with the seed layer.

Claim (Index 15):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a semiconductor die encapsulated within an encapsulant; a first via extending through a first dielectric layer to electrically couple to the semiconductor die, the first via having straight sidewalls from a top of the first via to a bottom of the first via; a first seed layer in electrical connection with the first via; a first metallization layer over and in physical contact with the first seed layer, the first metallization layer comprising a first material throughout the first metallization layer; a second via in direct physical contact with the first metallization layer, the second via comprising a second material throughout the second via; and a dielectric material covering sidewalls of both the first metallization layer and the second via, the dielectric material comprising a third material throughout the dielectric material, wherein a first surface of the second via facing away from the first metallization layer is exposed by the dielectric material.
