A semiconductor device has a first build-up interconnect structure formed over a substrate. The first build-up interconnect structure includes an insulating layer and conductive layer formed over the insulating layer. A vertical interconnect structure and semiconductor die are disposed over the first build-up interconnect structure. The semiconductor die, first build-up interconnect structure, and substrate are disposed over a carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die, first build-up interconnect structure, and substrate. A second build-up interconnect structure is formed over the encapsulant. The second build-up interconnect structure electrically connects to the first build-up interconnect structure through the vertical interconnect structure. The substrate provides structural support and prevents warpage during formation of the first and second build-up interconnect structures. The substrate is removed after forming the second build-up interconnect structure. A portion of the insulating layer is removed exposing the conductive layer for electrical interconnect with subsequently stacked semiconductor devices.
