Abstract

A package structure and method for forming the same are provided. The package structure includes a substrate and a semiconductor die formed over the substrate. The package structure also includes a package layer covering the semiconductor die and a conductive structure formed in the package layer. The package structure includes a first insulating layer formed on the conductive structure, and the first insulating layer includes monovalent metal oxide. A second insulating layer is formed between the first insulating layer and the package layer. The second insulating layer includes monovalent metal oxide, and a weight ratio of the monovalent metal oxide in the second insulating layer is greater than a weight ratio of the monovalent metal oxide in first insulating layer.
