Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a first redistribution structure including a plurality of first redistribution layers and a plurality of first redistribution vias. A semiconductor chip is on the first redistribution structure. The semiconductor chip includes a chip pad. A connection pad is between the first redistribution structure and the semiconductor chip, and is connected to the first redistribution structure. A connection bump is connected to the connection pad and the chip pad. A molding layer extends around the first redistribution structure and the semiconductor chip, and a through electrode extends through the molding layer. A wetting layer is between the first redistribution structure and the molding layer.
