1. A packaged semiconductor device comprising:
- a device die of semiconductor material having an inner surface and an outer surface, said inner surface having one or more semiconductor devices formed in the inner surface, said devices having one or more surface contact regions;
an interconnect structure for connecting first and second contact pads, the first contact pad contacting the surface contact region in the surface of the device die and the second contact pad contacting a conductive via;
a cover die having an inner surface and an outer surface with its inner surface bonded to the device die to cover the semiconductor devices;
a conductive via extending from the outer surface of at least one of the device die and the cover die to the second contact pad and terminating on the second contact pad without penetrating through said second contact pad; and
an external contact on the outer end of the conductive via for establishing a continuous conductive path from the external contact to the surface contact region.

Abstract
Semiconductor devices 340 are formed in semiconductor wafer 300. Contact pads 332 are formed in each die 330. An interconnect connects the contact pads 332 to die surface contact regions 210, 212. Scribe trenches 348 are formed in device wafer 300; corresponding trenches 358 are formed in cover wafer 360. The cover wafer 360 is thinned to open scribe trenches 348. Conductive vias 310-313 connect the contact pads 210, 212 to external surface bump contacts 333.
