Semiconductor package, module, system having solder ball coupled to chip pad and manufacturing method thereof
A semiconductor package structure having a solder ball coupled to a chip pad and a manufacturing method thereof, a semiconductor package module, and a system. A circuit board includes a through hole therein, and a conductor is formed on a sidewall of the through hole. A first semiconductor chip including a first chip pad is mounted on the circuit board. A solder ball is disposed in the through hole and is bonded to the conductor and the first chip pad. Therefore, an underfill can be removed from a semiconductor package, and thus, the semiconductor package can be reduced in thickness.
