Abstract

Methods and apparatus for package on package structures having stud bump through via interconnections. A structure includes an interconnect layer having a plurality of through via assemblies each including at least one stud bump are formed on conductive pads; and encapsulant surrounding the through via assembly, a first redistribution layer formed over a surface of the encapsulant and coupled to the through via assemblies and carrying connectors, and a second redistribution layer over interconnect layer at the other end of the through via assemblies, the through via assemblies extending vertically through the interconnect layer. In an embodiment the interconnect layer is mounted using the connectors to a lower package substrate to form a package on package structure. A first integrated circuit device may be mounted on the second redistribution layer of the interconnect layer. Methods for forming the interconnect layer and the package on package structures are disclosed.
