A method of forming a semiconductor device includes preparing a first semiconductor die package with conductive elements embedded in a molding compound, wherein the conductive elements are exposed on a surface of the molding compound. A top surface of the conductive elements is above or co-planar with a top-most surface of the molding compound. The method further includes providing a second semiconductor die package; and bonding the conductive elements of the first semiconductor die package to contacts on the semiconductor die package.

A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a conductive pad coupled to the substrate. A first solder mask is coupled to the substrate and to a portion of the conductive pad so the first solder mask covers the portion of the conductive pad and extends above the conductive pad. A second solder mask is coupled to a portion of the first solder mask and extends above the first solder mask.

In described examples, a first device on a first surface of a substrate is coupled to a structure arranged on a second surface of the substrate. In at least one example, a first conductor arranged on the first surface is coupled to circuitry of the first device. An elevated portion of the first conductor is supported by disposing an encapsulate and curing the encapsulate. The first conductor is severed by cutting the encapsulate and the first conductor. A second conductor is coupled to the first conductor. The second conductor is coupled to the structure arranged on the second surface of the substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a wafer-level packaging process. According to an exemplary process, a precursor wafer that includes a device layer with a number of input/output (I/O) contacts, a number of bump structures over the device layer, the stop layer underneath the device layer, and a silicon handle layer underneath the stop layer is provided. Herein, each bump structure is electronically coupled to a corresponding I/O contact. A first mold compound is then applied over the device layer to encapsulate each bump structure. Next, the silicon handle layer is removed substantially. A second mold compound is applied to an exposed surface from which the silicon handle layer was removed. Finally, the first mold compound is thinned down to expose a portion of each bump structure.

An optoelectronic device includes an optical integrated circuit having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The optical integrated circuit has an optical zone of the first surface of the optical integrated circuit. The device includes an electrically insulating material disposed over the optical integrated circuit, where he electrically insulating material partially covers the first surface so as to expose the optical zone.
