Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor package, including a first device having a first joining surface, a first conductive component at least partially protruding from the first joining surface, a second device having a second joining surface facing the first joining surface, and a second conductive component at least exposing from the second joining surface. The first conductive component and the second conductive component form a joint having a first beak. The first beak points to either the first joining surface or the second joining surface.
