An Integrated Circuit (IC), comprising a first conductive trace on a first die, a second conductive trace on a second die, and a conductive pathway electrically coupling the first conductive trace with the second conductive trace. The second die is coupled to the first die with interconnects. The conductive pathway comprises a portion of the interconnects located proximate to a periphery of a region in the first die through which the first conductive trace is not routable. In some embodiments, the conductive pathway reroutes electrical connections away from the region. The region comprises a high congestion zone having high routing density in some embodiments. In other embodiments, the region comprises a “keep-out” zone.

A semiconductor device has a substrate and a first light sensitive material formed over the substrate. A plurality of first conductive posts is formed over the substrate by patterning the first light sensitive material and filling the pattern with a conductive material. A plurality of electrical contacts is formed over the substrate and the conductive posts are formed over the electrical contacts. A first electric component is disposed over the substrate between the first conductive posts. A plurality of second conductive posts is formed over the first electrical component by patterning a second light sensitive material and filling the pattern with conductive material. A first encapsulant is deposited over the first electrical component and conductive posts. A portion of the first encapsulant is removed to expose the first conductive posts. A second electrical component is disposed over the first electrical component and covered with a second encapsulant.

A method for forming a package structure may comprise applying a die and vias on a carrier having an adhesive layer and forming a molded substrate over the carrier and around the vias, and the ends of the vias and mounts on the die exposed. The vias may be in via chips with one or more dielectric layers separating the vias. The via chips 104 may be formed separately from the carrier.
