Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a base substrate with recesses formed in a first surface of the base substrate. A first conductive layer is formed over the first surface and into the recesses. A second conductive layer is formed over a second surface of the base substrate. A first semiconductor die is mounted to the base substrate with bumps partially disposed within the recesses over the first conductive layer.

Abstract:
A semiconductor wafer has a plurality of semiconductor die separated by a peripheral region. A trench is formed in the peripheral region of the wafer. A via is formed on the die. The trench extends to and is continuous with the via. A first conductive layer is deposited in the trench and via to form conductive TSV. The first conductive layer is conformally applied or completely fills the trench and via. The trench has a larger area than the vias which accelerates formation of the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is deposited over a front surface of the die. The second conductive layer is electrically connected to the first conductive layer. The first and second conductive layers can be formed simultaneously. A portion of a back surface of the wafer is removed to expose the first conductive layer. The die can be electrically interconnected through the TSVs.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a plurality of bumps formed over a carrier. A semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier between the bumps. A penetrable film encapsulant layer having a base layer, first adhesive layer, and second adhesive layer is placed over the semiconductor die and bumps. The penetrable film encapsulant layer is pressed over the semiconductor die and bumps to embed the semiconductor die and bumps within the first and second adhesive layers. The first adhesive layer and second adhesive layer are separated to remove the base layer and first adhesive layer and leave the second adhesive layer around the semiconductor die and bumps. The bumps are exposed from the second adhesive layer. The carrier is removed. An interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die and second adhesive layer. A conductive layer is formed over the second adhesive layer electrically connected to the bumps.

Excess encapsulant exits through the opening in the interposer frame. The carrier is removed. An interconnect structure is formed over the encapsulant and first die. A second semiconductor die can be mounted over the first die or over the interposer frame.
