Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a substrate, through-electrodes penetrating the substrate, first bumps spaced apart from each other in a first direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the through-electrodes, respectively, and at least one second bump disposed between the first bumps and electrically insulated from the through-electrodes. The first bumps and the at least one second bump constitute one row in the first direction. A level of a bottom surface of the at least one second bump from the top surface of the substrate is a substantially same as levels of bottom surfaces of the first bumps from the top surface of the substrate.
