Abstract

A package structure and a formation method of a package structure are provided. The method includes forming multiple conductive vias in a carrier substrate and forming a redistribution structure over the carrier substrate. The redistribution structure has multiple polymer-containing layers and multiple conductive features. The method also includes disposing multiple chip structures over the redistribution structure. The method further includes bonding the carrier substrate to a package structure.
