Wafer-level package with enhanced performance
The present disclosure relates to a wafer-level package that includes a first thinned die having a first device layer, a multilayer redistribution structure, a first mold compound, and a second mold compound. The multilayer redistribution structure includes redistribution interconnects that connect the first device layer to package contacts on a bottom surface of the multilayer redistribution structure.
