Abstract

One embodiment provides a semiconductor package by forming a redistribution layer extending from a bonding pad of a semiconductor chip using a photoresist pattern plated with the seed layer. Fabrication of the semiconductor package is relatively simple thereby shortening a manufacturing time and reducing the manufacturing cost, and which can increase an adhered area of input/output terminals and can prevent delamination by connecting and welding the input/output terminals to a pair of redistribution layers.
