A package includes a first package structure and a second package structure stacked on the first package structure. The first package structure includes a redistribution structure, an integrated circuit, an encapsulant, and conductive structures. The integrated circuit is disposed on the redistribution structure and includes a first chip, a second chip, a third chip, and a fourth chip. The first chip includes a semiconductor substrate that extends continuously throughout the first chip. The second and the third chips are disposed side by side on the first chip. The fourth chip is disposed over the first chip and includes a semiconductor substrate that extends continuously throughout the fourth chip. Sidewalls of the first chip are aligned with sidewalls of the fourth chip. The encapsulant laterally encapsulates the integrated circuit. The conductive structures penetrate through the encapsulant. The second package structure is electrically connected to the redistribution structure through the conductive structures.

In an embodiment, a method for manufacturing and passivating a die includes providing the die having an active frontside including a protrusion, the protrusion configured for electrically contacting the die, covering a portion of the protrusion by a passivation tape before applying a passivation layer, applying the passivation layer on all sides of the die including the frontside and its protrusion in one single process, except on the portion covered by the passivation tape and detaching the passivation tape from the covered portion of the protrusion after applying the passivation layer to expose the portion of the protrusion which forms an electrical contact area.

A method includes forming a seed layer on a semiconductor wafer, coating a photo resist on the seed layer, performing a photo lithography process to expose the photo resist, and developing the photo resist to form an opening in the photo resist. The seed layer is exposed, and the opening includes a first opening of a metal pad and a second opening of a metal line connected to the first opening. At a joining point of the first opening and the second opening, a third opening of a metal patch is formed, so that all angles of the opening and adjacent to the first opening are greater than 90 degrees. The method further includes plating the metal pad, the metal line, and the metal patch in the opening in the photo resist, removing the photo resist, and etching the seed layer to leave the metal pad, the metal line and the metal patch.
