1. A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) package structure, comprising:
a circuit layer;
a MEMS die on the circuit layer;
an adhesive in physical contact with the MEMS die;
a conductive pillar having a top surface and disposed on the circuit layer adjacent to the MEMS die;
an encapsulant on the circuit layer and encapsulating the MEMS die and the conductive pillar, the encapsulant being a single material and having a constant thickness, wherein the conductive pillar has a height at least as high as a largest height of the encapsulant and at least as high as a largest height of a combination of the MEMS die and the adhesive in physical contact with the MEMS die; and
a polymer layer disposed on the encapsulant and on the top surface of the conductive pillar, wherein the polymer layer defines a recess that exposes at least a portion of the top surface of the conductive pillar, wherein the polymer layer comprises openings, wherein the openings are the only openings through the polymer layer, the recess being one of the openings, and wherein each of the openings within the polymer layer exposes a conductive material, the conductive pillar being part of the conductive material.
