Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a die, a dummy die, a plurality of conductive terminals, an insulating layer and a plurality of thermal through vias. The dummy die is disposed aside the die. The conductive terminals are disposed at a first side of the dummy die and the die and electrically connected to the dummy die and the die. The insulating layer is disposed at a second side opposite to the first side of the dummy die and the die. The thermal through vias penetrating through the insulating layer.
