  • Patent number: 9741690
    Abstract: An embodiment package includes a first integrated circuit die, an encapsulent around the first integrated circuit die, and a conductive line electrically connecting a first conductive via to a second conductive via. The conductive line includes a first segment over the first integrated circuit die and having a first lengthwise dimension extending in a first direction and a second segment having a second lengthwise dimension extending in a second direction different than the first direction. The second segment extends over a boundary between the first integrated circuit die and the encapsulant.
