Abstract

A stacked via structure disposed on a conductive pillar of a semiconductor die is provided. The stacked via structure includes a first dielectric layer, a first conductive via, a first redistribution wiring, a second dielectric layer, a second conductive via, and a second redistribution wiring. The first dielectric layer covers the semiconductor die. The first conductive via is embedded in the first dielectric layer and electrically connected to the conductive pillar. The first redistribution wiring covers the first conductive via and the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer covers the first dielectric layer and the first redistribution wiring. The second conductive via is embedded in the second dielectric layer and landed on the first redistribution wiring. The second redistribution wiring covers the second conductive via and the second dielectric layer. A lateral dimension of the first conductive via is greater than a lateral dimension of the second conductive via.
