Abstract

A semiconductor package may include a circuit board, an interposer structure on the circuit board, a mold layer, and a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip spaced apart from each other in a first direction on a center region of the interposer structure and electrically connected to the interposer structure. The interposer structure may include a plurality of trenches in an edge region of the interposer structure and extending through the interposer structure. The mold layer may be in the plurality of trenches and may wrap the first and second semiconductor chips. The mold layer may include a penetrating portion in the plurality of trenches and a stack portion on the interposer structure. A bottom surface of the penetrating portion of the mold layer may be on a same plane as a bottom surface of the interposer structure.
