Abstract

A semiconductor device package having pre-formed and placed through vias and a process for making such a package is provided. One or more signal conduits are placed in a holder that is subsequently embedded in an encapsulated semiconductor device package. The ends of the signal conduits are exposed and the signal conduits are then used as through package vias, providing signal-bearing pathways between interconnects or contacts on the bottom and top of the package. Holders can be provided in a variety of geometries and materials, depending upon the nature of the application. Further, multiple holders with signal conduits can be provided in a single package to provide for more complex interconnect configuration demands in, for example, system-in-a-package applications.
