The present disclosure provides devices and methods in which a semiconductor chip has a reduced size and thickness. The device is manufactured by utilizing a sacrificial or dummy silicon wafer. A recess is formed in the dummy silicon wafer where the semiconductor chip is mounted in the recess. The space between the dummy silicon wafer and the chip is filled with underfill material. The dummy silicon wafer and the backside of the chip are etched using any suitable etching process until the dummy silicon wafer is removed, and the thickness of the chip is reduced. With this process, the overall thickness of the semiconductor chip can be thinned down to less than 50 μm in some embodiments. The ultra-thin semiconductor chip can be incorporated in manufacturing flexible/rollable display panels, foldable mobile devices, wearable displays, or any other electrical or electronic devices.

An SIP module includes a plurality of electrical components mounted to an interconnect substrate. The electrical components and interconnect substrate are covered by an encapsulant. A conductive post is formed through the encapsulant. A plurality of openings is formed in the encapsulant by laser in a form of a circuit pattern. A conductive material is deposited over a surface of the encapsulant and into the openings to form an electrical circuit pattern. A portion of the conductive material is removed by a grinder to expose the electrical circuit pattern. The grinding operation planarizes the surface of the encapsulant and the electrical circuit pattern. The electrical circuit pattern can be a trace, contact pad, RDL, or other interconnect structure. The electrical circuit pattern can also be a shielding layer or antenna. An electrical component is disposed over the SIP module and electrical circuit pattern.
