US Patent 9837379 Discrete polymer in fan-out packages

A package includes a first molding material, a lower-level device die in the first molding material, a dielectric layer over the lower-level device die and the first molding material, and a plurality of redistribution lines extending into the first dielectric layer to electrically couple to the lower-level device die. The package further includes an upper-level device die over the dielectric layer, and a second molding material molding the upper-level device die therein. A bottom surface of a portion of the second molding material contacts a top surface of the first molding material.
