Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor structure includes an integrated circuit (IC) component, an insulating layer laterally encapsulating sidewalls of the IC component, a redistribution structure disposed on the insulating layer and the IC component, and a warpage control portion coupling to a back side of the IC component opposite to the redistribution structure. The redistribution structure is electrically connected to the IC component. The warpage control portion includes a substrate, a patterned dielectric layer disposed between the substrate and the IC component, and a metal pattern embedded in the patterned dielectric layer and electrically isolated from the IC component.
