Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method of assembling an integrated circuit package. In embodiments the method may include providing a wafer having an unpatterned passivation layer to prevent corrosion of metal conductors embedded in the wafer. The method may further include laminating a dielectric material on the passivation layer to form a dielectric layer and selectively removing dielectric material to form voids in the dielectric layer. These voids may reveal portions of the passivation layer disposed over the metal conductors. The method may then involve removing the portions of the passivation layer to reveal the metal conductors. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Integrated circuit package

A semiconductor device is described having at least one semiconductor chip, the chip having an active area on a top side thereof, the active area formed at least in part of low-k material, said low-k material defining a low-k subarea of said active area; an embedding material, in which said at least one semiconductor chip is embedded, at least part of the embedding material forming a coplanar area with said active area; at least one contact area within the low-k subarea; a redistribution layer on the coplanar area, the redistribution layer connected to said contact areas; at least one first-level interconnect, located outside said low-k subarea, the first-level interconnect electrically connected to at least one of said contact areas via the redistribution layer.

Semiconductor device with chip having low-k-layers

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip having a through-connection extending between a first main face of the semiconductor chip and a second main face of the semiconductor chip opposite the first main face, encapsulation material at least partially encapsulating the semiconductor chip, and a first metal layer disposed over the encapsulation material and connected with the through-connection.
