Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a lower chip including a first lower bonding pad and a second lower bonding pad, and an upper chip disposed on the lower chip, the upper chip including a first upper bonding pad and a second upper bonding pad respectively hybrid-bonded together. The first lower and upper bonding pads have a first shape in which first and second axis lengths are the same, and are disposed in a first center region of the chips. The second lower and upper bonding pads have a second shape in which third and fourth axis lengths differ, and are disposed in a first edge region which is near a corner point of the chip. In the second lower and upper bonding pads disposed in the first edge region, the third axis length is arranged in a direction perpendicular to a radial direction from the center point.
