A method for assembling one or more semiconductor devices with an interposer includes positioning the one or more semiconductor devices within a receptacle that extends through the interposer, on a retention element that extends over at least a portion of the receptacle. Material may be introduced between at least a portion of an outer periphery of the one or more semiconductor devices and an inner periphery of the interposer to facilitate securing of the one or more semiconductor devices in place relative to the interposer. The retention element may be removed from the semiconductor devices. Once the one or more semiconductor devices are in place, they may be electrically connected to the interposer.

Methods for assembling semiconductor devices and interposers

A semiconductor device package interposer including a receptacle extending substantially therethrough. Methods for assembling the interposer with one or more semiconductor devices are also disclosed. A film may be secured to a bottom surface of the interposer so as to at least partially cover a bottom end of the receptacle. One or more semiconductor devices are positioned within the receptacle, on the film. Each semiconductor device within the receptacle may then be electrically connected to the interposer. An encapsulant material, which is introduced into the receptacle, extends at least between portions of the outer periphery of each semiconductor device within the receptacle and a peripheral edge of the receptacle. Upon curing, setting, or hardening, the encapsulant material retains each semiconductor device within the receptacle and maintains a lateral position of each semiconductor device with respect to the interposer. Semiconductor device packages and multi-chip modules are also disclosed.
