Abstract
Integrated circuits and methods of fabricating integrated circuits are disclosed herein. One embodiment of an integrated circuit includes a die having a side, wherein a conductive stud extends substantially normal relative to the side. A dielectric layer having a first side and a second side is located proximate the side of the die so that the first side of the dielectric layer is adjacent the side of the die. The conductive stud extends into the first side of the dielectric layer. A first via extends between the conductive stud and the second side of the dielectric layer. A conductive layer having a first side and a second side is located adjacent the second side of the dielectric layer, wherein the first side of the conductive layer is located adjacent the second side of the dielectric layer. At least a portion of the conductive layer is electrically connected to the first via.
