Abstract

In one example, a semiconductor structure comprises a frontside substrate comprising a conductive structure, a backside substrate comprising a base substrate and a cavity substrate contacting the base substrate, wherein the backside substrate is over a top side of the frontside substrate and has a cavity and an internal interconnect contacting the frontside substrate, and a first electronic component over the top side of the frontside substrate and in the cavity. The first electronic component is coupled with the conductive structure, and an encapsulant is in the cavity and on the top side of the frontside substrate, contacting a lateral side of the first electronic component, a lateral side of the cavity, and a lateral side of the internal interconnect. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.
