The third redistribution layer interconnects the first redistribution layer and the second redistribution layer. The carrier is arranged on a side of the third redistribution layer away from the first redistribution layer and the second redistribution layer. The first molding compound layer covers the first chip, the first redistribution layer, the second chip, and the second redistribution layer. A manufacturing method is also disclosed.

In some examples, a package comprises a semiconductor die having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface, the semiconductor die including circuitry formed in the first surface. The package includes an acoustic waveguide in the semiconductor die, the acoustic waveguide including an array of capacitors. The array of capacitors includes a transducer portion and a diffraction grating portion. The transducer portion is configured to convert signals between electrical signals and acoustic waves, and the diffraction grating portion is configured to direct the acoustic waves toward and receive the acoustic waves from the second surface.

A microelectronic device, in a fan-out fan-in chip scale package, has a die and an encapsulation material at least partially surrounding the die. Fan-out connections from the die extend through the encapsulation material and terminate adjacent to the die. The fan-out connections include wire bonds, and are free of photolithographically-defined structures. Fan-in/out traces connect the fan-out connections to bump bond pads. The die and at least a portion of the bump bond pads partially overlap each other. The microelectronic device is formed by mounting the die on a carrier, and forming the fan-out connections, including the wire bonds, without using a photolithographic process. The die and the fan-out connections are covered with an encapsulation material, and the carrier is subsequently removed, exposing the fan-out connections. The fan-in/out traces are formed so as to connect to the exposed portions of the fan-out connections, and extend to the bump bond pads.

Apparatuses relating to a microelectronic package are disclosed. In one such apparatus, a substrate has first contacts on an upper surface thereof. A microelectronic die has a lower surface facing the upper surface of the substrate and having second contacts on an upper surface of the microelectronic die. Wire bonds have bases joined to the first contacts and have edge surfaces between the bases and corresponding end surfaces. A first portion of the wire bonds are interconnected between a first portion of the first contacts and the second contacts. The end surfaces of a second portion of the wire bonds are above the upper surface of the microelectronic die. A dielectric layer is above the upper surface of the substrate and between the wire bonds. The second portion of the wire bonds have uppermost portions thereof bent over to be parallel with an upper surface of the dielectric layer.
