Publication number: 20240113032Abstract: Interconnect structure packages (e.g., through silicon vias (TSV) packages, through interlayer via (TIV) packages) may be pre-manufactured as opposed to forming TIVs directly on a carrier substrate during a manufacturing process for a semiconductor die package at backend packaging facility. The interconnect structure packages may be placed onto a carrier substrate during manufacturing of a semiconductor device package, and a semiconductor die package may be placed on the carrier substrate adjacent to the interconnect structure packages. A molding compound layer may be formed around and in between the interconnect structure packages and the semiconductor die package.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Kai-Fung CHANG, Chin-Wei LIANG, Sheng-Feng WENG, Ming-Yu YEN, Cheyu LIU, Hung-Chih CHEN, Yi-Yang LEI, Ching-Hua HSIEH
