Patent 12021037 was granted and assigned to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company on June, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Package structures and methods for forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a passivation layer having an opening and forming a first seed layer in the opening. The method further includes filling the opening with a conductive layer over the first seed layer and bonding an integrated circuit die to the conductive layer over a first side of the passivation layer. The method further includes removing a portion of the first seed layer to expose a top surface of the conductive layer and to partially expose a first sidewall of the passivation layer from a second side of the passivation layer and forming a second seed layer over the top surface of the conductive layer and over the first sidewall of the passivation layer.
