Wafer level packages and methods for producing wafer level packages having delamination-resistant redistribution layers are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes building inner redistribution layers over a semiconductor die. Inner redistribution layers include a body of dielectric material containing metal routing features. A routing-free dielectric block is formed in the body of dielectric material and is uninterrupted by the metal routing features. An outer redistribution layer is produced over the inner redistribution layers and contains a metal plane, which is patterned to include one or more outgassing openings overlying the routing-free dielectric block. The routing-free dielectric block has a minimum width, length, and depth each at least twice the thickness of the outer redistribution layer.

Microelectronic packages having layered interconnect structures are provided, as are methods for the fabrication thereof. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first plurality of interconnect lines in ohmic contact with a first bond pad row provided on a semiconductor. A dielectric layer is deposited over the first plurality of interconnect lines, the first bond pad row, and a second bond pad row adjacent the first bond pad row. A trench via is then formed in the dielectric layer to expose at least the second bond pad row therethrough. A second plurality of interconnect lines is formed in ohmic contact with the second bond pad row within the trench via. The second plurality of interconnect lines extends over the first bond pad row and is electrically isolated therefrom by the dielectric layer to produce at least a portion of the layered interconnect structure.

Embodiments of methods for forming microelectronic device packages include forming a trench on a surface of a package body in an area adjacent to where first and second package surface conductors will be (or have been) formed on both sides of the trench. The method also includes forming the first and second package surface conductors to electrically couple exposed ends of various combinations of device-to-edge conductors. The trench may be formed using laser cutting, drilling, sawing, etching, or another suitable technique. The package surface conductors may be formed by dispensing (e.g., coating, spraying, inkjet printing, aerosol jet printing, stencil printing, or needle dispensing) one or more conductive materials on the package body surface between the exposed ends of the device-to-edge conductors.

A stacked microelectronic package can comprise a package body having an external vertical package sidewall, a plurality of microelectronic devices embedded within the package body, and package edge conductors electrically coupled to the plurality of microelectronic devices and extending to the external vertical package sidewall. A cavity is formed on an external surface of the package body between a first one of the package edge conductors and a second one of the package edge conductors. Electrically conductive material is in the cavity and in electrical contact with a first and a second one of the package edge conductors, wherein the conductive material in the cavity is within planform dimensions of the microelectronic package.

Embodiments of methods for forming microelectronic device packages include forming a trench on a surface of a package body between exposed ends of first and second device-to-edge conductors, and forming a package surface conductor in the trench to electrically couple the first and second device-to-edge conductors. In one embodiment, the package surface conductor is formed by first forming a conductive material layer over the package surface, where the conductive material layer substantially fills the trench, and subsequently removing portions of the conductive material layer from the package surface adjacent to the trench. In another embodiment, the package surface conductor is formed by dispensing one or more conductive materials in the trench between the first and second exposed ends (e.g., using a technique such as spraying, inkjet printing, aerosol jet printing, stencil printing, or needle dispense). Excess conductive material may then be removed from the package surface adjacent to the trench.
