Abstract

A substrate for a semiconductor package includes a substrate body having a first surface and a second surface which faces away from the first surface, and formed with at least one bump land on the first surface, and a dam formed and projected over an edge of the first surface of the substrate body, and having an underfill member discharge unit.

Claims (37)

wherein the at least one bump land is in direct contact with the first surface of the substrate body and the at least one bump land is located within the first surface of the substrate body, and

wherein the underfill member discharge unit is configured to prevent an underfill member from overflowing over the dam.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the dam comprises a plurality of dams, and the underfill member discharge unit comprises a plurality of gaps each of which is defined between two adjacent dams.

3. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the dam comprises a plurality of dams, and the underfill member discharge unit comprises a slit which is defined between two adjacent dams.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the dam comprises a plurality of dams, and the underfill member discharge unit comprises a discharge hole which is defined to penetrate a portion of the dam.

5. A semiconductor package comprising:

a substrate including a substrate body having a first surface and a second surface which faces away from the first surface, and formed with at least one bump land on the first surface, and a dam formed on the first surface of the substrate body and projected over an edge of the first surface of the substrate body, and the dam having an underfill member discharge unit; and

a first semiconductor chip having a third surface which faces the first surface and a fourth surface which faces away from the third surface, the third surface formed with a bump corresponding to the bump land on the first surface, and bonded to the substrate,

wherein the at least one bump land is in direct contact with the first surface of the substrate body and the at least one bump land is located within the first surface of the substrate body, and

wherein the underfill member discharge unit is configured to prevent an underfill member from overflowing over the dam.

6. The semiconductor package according to claim 5 , wherein the dam comprises a plurality of dams, and the underfill member discharge unit comprises any one of a plurality of gaps each of which is defined between two adjacent dams or a slit which is defined between two adjacent dams.
