Semiconductor device and method of forming wafer level die integration
In a wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP), a semiconductor die has active circuits and contact pads formed on its active surface. A second semiconductor die is disposed over the first semiconductor die. A first redistribution layer (RDL) electrically connects the first and second semiconductor die. A third semiconductor die is disposed over the second semiconductor die. The second and third semiconductor die are attached with an adhesive. A second RDL electrically connects the first, second, and third semiconductor die. The second RDL can be a bond wire. Passivation layers isolate the RDLs and second and third semiconductor die. A plurality of solder bumps is formed on a surface of the WLCSP. The solder bumps are formed on under bump metallization which electrically connects to the RDLs. The solder bumps electrically connect to the first, second, or third semiconductor die through the first and second RDLs.
