connecting a first internal interconnect between the first terminal and the first top contact directly below the first terminal; and
connecting a second internal interconnect between the second terminal and the second top contact directly below the second terminal.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming the first device including forming a device encapsulation with a non-planar side.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming the first device having a stiffener in a device encapsulation.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:
forming the first device with a first device encapsulation having a first non-planar side; and
forming the second device with a second device encapsulation having a second non-planar side complementary to the first non-planar side.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising encapsulating the first device and the second device.
6. A method of manufacturing a stacked integrated circuit package-in-package comprising:
forming a laminate substrate with a first top contact and a second top contact;
mounting a first device having a first terminal and a first device encapsulation over the substrate, wherein the first terminal is directly above the first top contact;
stacking a second device having a second terminal and a second device encapsulation over the first device in an offset configuration, wherein the second terminal is directly above the second top contact;
connecting a first internal interconnect between the first terminal and the first top contact directly below the first terminal; and
connecting a second internal interconnect including a solder ball between the second terminal and the second top contact directly below the second terminal.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:
forming the first device encapsulation with a first terminal level and a first recess level;
forming the second device encapsulation with a second terminal level and a second recess level; and
attaching the first recess level and the second recess level.
8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:
forming the first device having a stiffener; and
connecting the stiffener to a ground connection for providing an electromagnetic shield.
9. A stacked integrated circuit package-in-package comprising:
a substrate with a first top contact and a second top contact;
a first device having a first terminal over the substrate, wherein the first terminal is directly above the first top contact;
a second device having a second terminal over the first device in an offset configuration, wherein the second terminal is directly above the second top contact;
a first internal interconnect between the first terminal and the first top contact directly below the first terminal; and
a second internal interconnect including a solder ball between the second terminal and the second top contact directly below the second terminal.
10. The package as claimed in claim 9 wherein the first device has a device encapsulation with a non-planar side.
11. The package as claimed in claim 9 wherein the first device has a stiffener in a device encapsulation.
12. The package as claimed in claim 9 wherein:
the first device has a first device encapsulation with a first non-planar side; and
the second device has a second device encapsulation with a second non-planar side complementary to the first non-planar side.
13. The package as claimed in claim 9 further comprising a package encapsulation to cover the first device and the second device.
14. The package as claimed in claim 9 wherein:
the substrate is a laminate substrate; and
the first internal interconnect is a solder paste.
15. The package as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
a first device encapsulation covering the first device and partially exposing the first device terminal, the first device encapsulation having a first terminal level and a first recess level; and
a second device encapsulation covering the second device and partially exposing the second device terminal, the second device encapsulation having a second terminal level and a second recess level.
