Abstract
A method for assembling a 3D integrated circuit package that includes a base device and a top device. The method includes bonding (i) a pre-formed via array having a via rack and via elements and (ii) a base die to the substrate of the base device. The resulting sub-assembly is encapsulated in molding compound, and the via rack and any corresponding molding compound are removed, such as by grinding, to generate a base device with vias corresponding to the via elements and exposed bond posts on its top surface corresponding to the tops of the vias. A pre-packaged or unpackaged top device is then attached and bonded to the base device and, if necessary, encapsulated to form the 3D package with the exposed tops of the vias providing electrical connections between the base substrate and the top device.
