Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a package structure, a first heat spreader, and a second heat spreader. The package structure is disposed on the substrate. The first heat spreader is disposed on the substrate. The first heat spreader surrounds the package structure. The second heat spreader is disposed on the package structure. The second heat spreader is connected to the first heat spreader. A material of the first heat spreader is different from a material of the second heat spreader.
