An integrated device package is disclosed. The package can include a carrier, such as first integrated device die, and a second integrated device die stacked on the first integrated device die. The package can include a buffer layer which coats at least a portion of an exterior surface of the first integrated device die and which is disposed between the second integrated device die and the first integrated device die. The buffer layer can comprise a pattern to reduce transmission of stresses between the first integrated device die and the second integrated device die.
