Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor device comprises providing a carrier, forming a first conductive layer extending above a surface of the carrier, providing a substrate, disposing the first conductive layer into a first surface of the substrate, removing the carrier, forming a second conductive layer extending above the first surface of the substrate to create a vertical offset between the first conductive layer and second conductive layer, and forming a plurality of first bumps over the first conductive layer and second conductive layer. The method further includes the steps of disposing a third conductive layer into a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface of the substrate, forming a fourth conductive layer extending above the second surface of the substrate to create a vertical offset between the third conductive layer and fourth conductive layer, and forming a plurality of second bumps.
