Abstract

A semiconductor package includes an encapsulated semiconductor device, a first redistribution structure, an insulating layer, and an antenna. The encapsulated semiconductor device includes a semiconductor device encapsulated by an encapsulation material. The redistribution structure is disposed on a first side the encapsulated semiconductor device and electrically connected to the semiconductor device. The insulating layer is disposed on a second side of the encapsulated semiconductor device and comprises a groove pattern. The antenna is filled the groove pattern, wherein an upper surface of the antenna is substantially coplanar with an upper surface of the insulating layer.
