1. A method of chip packaging comprising:
- providing a package substrate having a bonding region on one of a top or bottom surface;
attaching and bonding a die directly to the bonding region, wherein the die which is directly bonded to the bonding region comprises unfilled and filled vias through first and second major surfaces of the die, wherein an unfilled via serves as a vent to release pressure generated during assembly; and
forming a package cap encapsulating the die having the unfilled and filled vias.

11. A method of chip packaging comprising:
-
providing a carrier having a bonding region on one of a top or bottom surface; attaching a die stack comprising a plurality of dies to the bonding region, wherein each die of the die stack comprises at least one unfilled via through first and second major surfaces of the dies to serve as a vent to release pressure generated during assembly; and filling the unfilled via of a top die of the die stack with insulating material. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A method of forming a semiconductor package comprising:
-
providing a plurality of dies, each of the dies having first and second major surfaces, wherein the dies are singulated dies of a wafer having a plurality of dies; forming a plurality of through vias within the die, the plurality of vias include conductive materials to form via contacts; forming at least one unfilled through via within each of the dies, the unfilled through via passing through the major surfaces of the dies; stacking the plurality of dies having the via contacts and the at least one unfilled through via within each die to form a die stack; attaching and bonding the die stack to a package substrate, wherein the unfilled through vias of the die stack which is bonded to the package substrate allow passage of air between the major surfaces of the dies to serve as a vent to release pressure generated during assembly; and forming a package cap encapsulating the die stack having the via contacts and the unfilled through vias. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of forming a semiconductor package comprising:
-
providing a package substrate having a bonding region on one of a top or bottom surface; attaching a die stack comprising at least a first die and a second die on top of the first die on the package substrate, wherein the first die is directly bonded to the bonding region of the package substrate and the first die comprises unfilled and filled through vias through first and major surfaces of the first die, wherein an unfilled through via allows passage of air between the major surfaces of the die to serve as a vent to release pressure generated during assembly; and forming a package cap encapsulating the die stack having the unfilled and filled through vias in the first die. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
