3D INTERCONNECT COMPONENT FOR FULLY MOLDED PACKAGES

A method of making a semiconductor component package can include providing a substrate comprising conductive traces, soldering a surface mount device (SMD) to the substrate with solder, encapsulating the SMD on the substrate with a first mold compound over and around the SMD to form a component assembly, and mounting the component assembly to a temporary carrier with a first side of the component assembly oriented towards the temporary carrier. The method can further include mounting a semiconductor die comprising a conductive interconnect to the temporary carrier adjacent the component assembly, encapsulating the component assembly and the semiconductor die with a second mold compound to form a reconstituted panel, and exposing the conductive interconnect and the conductive traces at the first side and the second side of the component assembly with respect to the second mold compound.
