An apparatus and methods for packaging semiconductor devices are disclosed. The apparatus is applicable to many types of contemporary packaging schemes that utilize a sacrificial metal base strip. Tunnels formed through an encapsulation area surrounding the device and associated bond wires are filled with a metallic conductor by, for example, electroplating, and extend bottom contact pads to an uppermost portion of the encapsulated area. The sacrificial metal base strip serves as a plating bus and is etch-removed after plating. The filled tunnels allow components to be stacked in a three-dimensional configuration.
