Patent attributes
A semiconductor module can comprise a fully molded base portion comprising a planar surface that further comprises a semiconductor die comprising contact pads, conductive pillars coupled to the contact pads and extending to the planar surface, and an encapsulant material disposed over the active surface, four side surfaces, and around the conductive pillars, wherein ends of the conductive pillars are exposed from the encapsulant material at the planar surface of the fully molded base portion. A build-up interconnect structure comprising a routing layer can be disposed over the fully molded base portion. A photo-imageable solder mask material can be disposed over the routing layer and comprise openings to form surface mount device (SMD) land pads electrically coupled to the semiconductor die and the conductive pillars. A SMD component can be electrically coupled to the SMD land pads with surface mount technology (SMT).
