Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Packaged semiconductor devices and packaging methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a packaged semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit die and through-vias disposed in a molding compound. A first redistribution layer (RDL) is disposed over a first side of the through-vias, the integrated circuit die, and the molding compound. A second RDL is disposed over a second side of the through-vias, the integrated circuit die, and the molding compound. Contact pads are disposed over the second RDL. An insulating material of the second RDL includes a recess around a perimeter of one of the contact pads.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of packaging a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a plurality of through-vias over a carrier; coupling an integrated circuit die to the carrier; forming a first redistribution layer (RDL) over a first side of the plurality of through-vias and the integrated circuit die; removing the carrier; forming a second RDL over a second side of the plurality of through-vias and the integrated circuit die, the second RDL being formed i…
