Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Packaging devices and packaging methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a packaging device includes forming a plurality of through-substrate vias (TSVs) in an interposer substrate. The interposer substrate is recessed or a thickness of the plurality of TSVs is increased to expose portions of the plurality of TSVs. A conductive ball is coupled to the exposed portion of each of the plurality of TSVs.
