Abstract
A one or multi-die module comprises multiple dies. The module includes at least one die with a sensor having a sensing region, an encapsulation layer covering top sides of the multiple dies, and a redistribution layer (RDL) covering bottom sides of the multiple dies except for the sensing region. In embodiments, a cap is formed over the sensing region, which has at least a portion that is spaced away from a bottom side of the module. Metal connectors, such as solder balls, are formed on the redistribution layer to provide connection points to the module. This approach can be used to incorporate environmental sensor dies into multi-die modules. It utilizes RDL and openings in the RDL in order to provide robust packaging for the dies, while also allowing the sensor dies to be selectively exposed to the environment.
