Abstract: A fan-out semiconductor device includes stacked semiconductor dies having die bond pads arranged in columns exposed at a sidewall of the stacked semiconductor dies. The stacked dies are encapsulated in a photo imageable dielectric (PID) material, which is developed to form through-hole cavities that expose the columns of bond pads of each die at the sidewall. The through-hole cavities are plated or filled with an electrical conductor to form conductive through-holes coupling die bond pads within the columns to each other.

Abstract: Devices and methods are described for reducing etching due to Galvanic Effect within a printed circuit board (PCB) that may be used in an electronic device. Specifically, a contact trace is coupled to a contact finger that has a substantially larger surface area than the contact trace. The contact finger is configured to couple the electronic device to a host device. The contact trace is electrically isolated from the rest of the PCB circuitry during a fabrication process by a separation distance between an exposed portion of the contact trace and an impedance trace. The contact finger and the exposed portion of the contact trace are plated with a common material to reduce galvanic etching of the contact trace during fabrication. The contact trace is then connected to the impedance trace using a solder joint.
