Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor package, including a first semiconductor die layer having an active surface, a conductive contact electrically coupled to the active surface, a sidewall of the conductive contact being surrounded by an insulating layer, and a solder bump connected to the conductive contact. A seed layer is between the sidewall of the conductive contact and the insulating layer. The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package, the method including providing a carrier, forming an insulating layer over the carrier, debonding the carrier from the insulating layer, and exposing the conductive contact from the insulating layer by an etching operation.
