Semiconductor device method of manufacture
An integrated fan out package on package architecture is utilized along with a reference via in order to provide a reference voltage that extends through the InFO-POP architecture. If desired, the reference via may be exposed and then connected to a shield coating that can be used to shield the InFO-POP architecture. The reference via may be exposed by exposing either a top surface or a sidewall of the reference via using one or more singulation processes.
