Abstract

A semiconductor package includes: a base chip; semiconductor chips disposed on the base chip and including front pads disposed on a front surface opposing the base chip, rear pads disposed on a rear surface opposing the front surface, and through-vias; bumps disposed between the semiconductor chips; a dam structure disposed on at least a portion of the rear pads; and insulating adhesive layers at least partially surrounding the bumps and the dam structure, wherein the rear pads include first pads that are disposed in a center region that crosses a center of the rear surface and that are electrically connected to the through-vias, and second pads that are disposed in a peripheral region adjacent to the center region, wherein the second pads include a line pad of which at least a portion has a polygonal shape, and wherein the dam structure has a bent shape.
