According to some embodiments, the terminal pad 120 may contact the second conductive pattern 131L. The connection member CP may contact the first conductive via 132V, and the second chip pad 144B of the first semiconductor chip 140 may contact other first conductive vias 132V. The first conductive via 132V, the first conductive pattern 132L, the second conductive via 131V, and the second conductive pattern 131L may form an electrical path.

[0040] According to some embodiments, the first insulating layer 132O and the second insulating layer 131O may include insulating materials, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or combinations thereof. The first conductive via 132V, the first conductive pattern 132L, the second conductive via 131V, and the second conductive pattern 131L may include conductive materials, such as metallic materials including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or combinations thereof.

According to some embodiments, the first semiconductor chip 140 may further include a first chip pad 144A located on the upper surface of the substrate 141 and a second chip pad 144B located on the lower surface of the substrate 141. According to some embodiments, the first semiconductor chip 140 may further include a first chip insulating layer 143A located on the upper surface of the substrate 141 and a second chip insulating layer 143B located on the lower surface of the substrate 141. The first chip pad 144A may be located between the TSV 145 and the first bonding pad BP1. The second chip pad 144B may be located between the TSV 145 and the first connection structure 130. In other words, the TSV 145 may extend between the first chip pad 144A and the second chip pad 144B. The first chip insulating layer 143A may at least partially surround the first chip pad 144A, and the second chip insulating layer 143B may at least partially surround the second chip pad 144B. The first chip pad 144A may be referred to as the upper chip pad, and the second chip pad 144B may be referred to as the lower chip pad. According to some embodiments, the second semiconductor chip 150 also includes a chip pad located between the semiconductor device 152 and the second bonding pad BP2 and / or between the semiconductor device 152 and the fourth bonding pad BP4.

[0045] The first chip pad 144A, the second chip pad 144B, and TSV 145 may include conductive materials, such as metallic materials including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or combinations thereof. The first chip insulating layer 143A and the second chip insulating layer 143B may include insulating materials, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, polymers, or combinations thereof.

[0046] The second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first semiconductor chip 140 via the second bonding pad BP2 and the first bonding pad BP1. The second semiconductor chip 150 can also be connected to the first connection structure 130 via the first semiconductor chip 140. For example, the second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first connection structure 130 via the second bonding pad BP2, the first bonding pad BP1, the first chip pad 144A, TSV 145, and the second chip pad 144B. According to some embodiments, the second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first connection structure 130 via a connection member CP instead of the first semiconductor chip 140. For example, the second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first connection structure 130 via the fourth bonding pad BP4, the third bonding pad BP3, and the connection member CP.

[0047] The first molding layer MD1 may be located on the upper surface of the first connection structure 130 and may at least partially surround the first semiconductor chip 140. The first molding layer MD1 may withstand temperatures of about 300°C or higher, may have a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 10 ppm / °C or less, and may include a material with good adhesion to the first bonding insulating layer BO1. The first molding layer MD1 may include, for example, an organic insulating material, including epoxy resin, silicone resin, or combinations thereof. The first molding layer MD1 may include, for example, epoxy molding compound (EMC). According to some embodiments, the side surface of the first molding layer MD1 may be coplanar with the side surface of the second semiconductor chip 150. Two coplanar surfaces may refer to two surfaces on the same plane. According to some embodiments, the side surface of the first molding layer MD1 may be coplanar with the side surface of the first connection structure 130.

[0048] The connecting member CP may extend between the first connecting structure 130 and the third bonding pad BP3. The connecting member CP may provide an electrical path between the second semiconductor chip 150 and the first connecting structure 130. The connecting member CP may include, for example, a metallic material (including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), or combinations thereof). Although in Figure 1 Each connecting member CP has a column shape, but each connecting member CP can have any shape including a bump shape.

[0049] A first bonding pad BP1 may be located on a first chip pad 144A of a first semiconductor chip 140. A third bonding pad BP3 may be located on a connecting member CP. A first bonding insulating layer BO1 may at least partially surround the first bonding pad BP1 and the third bonding pad BP3. The first bonding insulating layer BO1 may be located on a first molding layer MD1 and the first semiconductor chip 140. A second bonding pad BP2 and a fourth bonding pad BP4 may be located on the lower surface of a second semiconductor chip 150. A second bonding insulating layer BO2 may at least partially surround the second bonding pad BP2 and the fourth bonding pad BP4. The first bonding pad BP1 may directly contact the second bonding pad BP2, and the third bonding pad BP3 may directly contact the fourth bonding pad BP4. According to some embodiments, the second bonding insulating layer BO2 may directly contact the first bonding insulating layer BO1.

[0050] According to the inventive concept, since there is direct contact between the first bonding pad BP1 and the second bonding pad BP2 and no bumps between the first semiconductor chip 140 and the second semiconductor chip 150, the second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first semiconductor chip 140 without any bumps (e.g., solder balls). Therefore, because a polymer layer with low thermal conductivity, located between the first semiconductor chip 140 and the second semiconductor chip 150 and surrounding the bumps, is not required, the semiconductor package 100 can have improved thermal conductivity. Because relatively large bumps are not required, first bonding pads BP1 to fourth bonding pads BP4 with small size and small pitch can be used, and therefore the semiconductor package 100 can have improved integration and increased speed.

[0051] The first bonding pads BP1 to the fourth bonding pads BP4 may comprise conductive materials, such as metallic materials including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or combinations thereof. The first bonding insulating layer BO1 and the second bonding insulating layer BO2 may comprise inorganic insulating materials, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxynitride, or combinations thereof.

[0052] According to some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first bonding pad BP1 can be aligned with the first chip pad 144A of the first semiconductor chip 140. The first bonding pad BP1 can be aligned with the second bonding pad BP2. However, according to other embodiments, such as Figure 3A As shown, the first chip pad BP1 may be misaligned with the first chip pad 144A of the first semiconductor chip 140. For example... Figure 3B As shown, the second bonding pad BP2 may be misaligned with the first bonding pad BP1. The alignment error between the first bonding pad BP1 and the second bonding pad BP2 may be, for example, within about 100 nm.

[0053] External connection terminal 110 may be located on the lower surface of terminal pad 120. External connection terminal 110 may be used to connect semiconductor package 100 to the outside of semiconductor package 100. According to some embodiments, external connection terminal 110 may be a solder bump. External connection terminal 110 may include, for example, a conductive material, including tin (Sn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), or combinations thereof.

[0054] Terminal pad 120 may be located on the lower surface of the first connection structure 130 and may contact the external connection terminal 110. Terminal pad 120 may be referred to as lower bump metal (UBM). Terminal pad 120 may include a metallic material, such as copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), or palladium (Pd).

[0055] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package 100A according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of region B. Now, a description will follow. Figure 1 Semiconductor package 100 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 Differences between semiconductor packages 100A. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first bonding insulating layer BO1 may not contact the second bonding insulating layer BO2. In other words, the first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be separated from the second bonding insulating layer BO2. For example, the first bonding pad BP1 may protrude upward from the upper surface of the first bonding insulating layer BO1, and the second bonding pad BP2 may protrude downward from the lower surface of the second bonding insulating layer BO2. Therefore, even when the first bonding pad BP1 contacts the second bonding pad BP2, the first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be separated from the second bonding insulating layer BO2. According to some embodiments, a portion of the first bonding insulating layer BO1 and a portion of the second bonding insulating layer BO2 may contact each other, and the remaining portions of the first bonding insulating layer BO1 and the remaining portions of the second bonding insulating layer BO2 may be separated from each other.

Figure 6 In the first semiconductor chip 140, the semiconductor device 142 may be located on the lower surface of the substrate 141. In other words, the effective surface of the substrate 141 may be the lower surface of the substrate 141, and the ineffective surface of the substrate 141 may be the upper surface of the substrate 141.

Figure 1 Semiconductor package 100 and Figure 7 Differences between semiconductor package 100C. (Refer to...) Figure 7 The semiconductor package 100C may include a first connection structure 130C instead of Figure 1 The first connection structure 130C may be an RDL first structure. In other words, after forming the first connection structure 130C, a first semiconductor chip 140 may be disposed on the first connection structure 130C. The first connection structure 130C may include, for example, a first insulating layer 132OC located on the lower surface of the first molding layer MD1, a first conductive pattern 132LC located between the first insulating layer 132OC and the first molding layer MD1, a first conductive via 132VC penetrating the first insulating layer 132OC and contacting the first conductive pattern 132LC, a second insulating layer 131OC located on the lower surface of the first insulating layer 132OC, a second conductive pattern 131LC located between the second insulating layer 131OC and the first insulating layer 132OC and contacting the first conductive via 132VC, and a second conductive via 131VC penetrating the second insulating layer 131OC and contacting the second conductive pattern 131LC. According to some embodiments, the first conductive pattern 132LC and the first conductive via 132VC may be integrally formed with each other. According to some embodiments, the second conductive pattern 131LC and the second conductive via 131VC can be integrally formed with each other. According to some embodiments, the terminal pad 120 can contact the second conductive via 131VC. The connecting member CP can contact the first conductive pattern 132LC, and the second chip pad 144B of the first semiconductor chip 140 can contact other first conductive patterns 132LC. Although in Figure 7 The first connection structure 130C includes two layers corresponding to two layers: a first conductive pattern 132LC and a second conductive pattern 131LC, and a first insulating layer 132OC and a second insulating layer 131OC. However, the first connection structure 130C may include more conductive pattern layers and more insulating layers.

[0058] Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package 100D according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. It will now be described... Figure 7 Semiconductor package 100C and Figure 8 Differences between 100D semiconductor packages. (Refer to...) Figure 8The semiconductor package 100D may further include a second connection structure 160. The second connection structure 160 may be located between the first molding layer MD1 and the first bonding insulating layer BO1, and between the first semiconductor chip 140 and the first bonding insulating layer BO1. The second connection structure 160 can connect the first semiconductor chip 140 to the first bonding pad BP1. The second connection structure 160 can connect the connecting member CP to the third bonding pad BP3. In other words, the second semiconductor chip 150 can be connected to the first semiconductor chip 140 and the connecting member CP via the second connection structure 160. The second connection structure 160 may be a redistributed structure. Figure 8 In one embodiment, the second connection structure 160 has an RDL last structure (the second connection structure 160 is formed on the first semiconductor chip 140 after the first semiconductor chip 140 is disposed). However, according to another embodiment, the second connection structure 160 may have an RDL first structure (the first semiconductor chip 140 is disposed on the second connection structure 160 after the second connection structure 160 is formed).

Although in Figure 8 The second connection structure 160 includes two layers corresponding to two layers: a first conductive pattern 161L and a second conductive pattern 162L, and a first insulating layer 161O and a second insulating layer 162O. However, the second connection structure 160 may include more conductive pattern layers and more insulating layers. According to some embodiments, the first conductive via 161V and the first conductive pattern 161L may be integrally formed with each other. According to some embodiments, the second conductive via 162V and the second conductive pattern 162L may be integrally formed with each other.

Second additional bonding pads BP2-1 to BP2-3 may be located on second chip pads 144B of the semiconductor chips (e.g., 140, 140-1, and 140-2), respectively. The second additional bonding insulating layers BO2-1 to BO2-3 may be located on semiconductor chips 140, 140-1, and 140-2, respectively, and on the first molding layer MD1 and the additional molding layers MD1-1 and MD1-2 surrounding semiconductor chips 140, 140-1, and 140-2, respectively, and may surround the second additional bonding pads BP2-1 to BP2-3, respectively. The first additional bonding pads BP1-1 to BP1-3 and the second additional bonding pads BP2-1 to BP2-3 may be in direct contact with each other.

[0072] Two adjacent connecting members (e.g., CP and CP-1) can be connected to each other by additional bonding pads (i.e., third additional bonding pad BP3-1 and fourth additional bonding pad BP4-1) extending between them.

According to some embodiments, the semiconductor package 200 may also include external connection terminals 210 located on the lower surface of the package substrate 220. According to some embodiments, the semiconductor package 200 may further include an internal connection member 230 located between the interposer 240 and the package substrate 220. According to some embodiments, the semiconductor package 200 may further include a second molding layer MDb located on the package substrate 220 and surrounding the interposer 240 and the first molding layer MDa.

[0075] The encapsulation substrate 220 may be, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB). The encapsulation substrate 220 may include, for example, a body 221, a lower conductive pattern 222 on a lower surface of the body 221, an upper conductive pattern 223 on an upper surface of the body 221, and a through-hole 224 connecting the lower conductive pattern 222 to the upper conductive pattern 223 by penetrating the body 221. The body 221 may include phenolic resin, epoxy resin, polyimide resin, or combinations thereof. For example, the body 221 may include flame retardant 4 (FR4), tetrafunctional epoxy resin, polyphenylene ether, epoxy / polyphenylene oxide, bismaleimide triazine (BT), polyamide fiber nonwoven fabric (thermount), cyanate ester, polyimide, or liquid crystal polymer. The lower conductive pattern 222, the upper conductive pattern 223, and the through-hole 224 may include conductive materials, such as metallic materials including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or combinations thereof.

[0076] External connection terminals 210 may be located on the lower conductive pattern 222 of the package substrate 220. External connection terminals 210 may include, for example, conductive materials, including tin (Sn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), or combinations thereof.

[0077] Intermediate 240 can connect the first semiconductor chip 250 and the second semiconductor chip 260 to the package substrate 220. Intermediate 240 may include, for example, a substrate 242, a through-hole 243 penetrating the substrate 242, a lower pad 241 located on the lower surface of the substrate 242 and connected to the through-hole 243, and a redistribution structure 244 located on the upper surface of the substrate 242 and connected to the through-hole 243. According to some embodiments, the redistribution structure 244 may be located on the lower surface of the substrate 242 or may be located on both the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 242. The substrate 242 may include semiconductor materials, ceramic materials, or organic materials. The lower pad 241 and the through-hole 243 may include conductive materials, such as metallic materials including copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or combinations thereof. A detailed description of the redistribution structure 244 is provided below. Figure 1 The detailed description of the first connection structure 130 is the same and will therefore be omitted here. According to some embodiments, the side surface of the intermediary 240 may be coplanar with the side surface of the first molding layer MDa.

[0078] Internal connection member 230 can connect intermediate 240 to package substrate 220. Internal connection member 230 can be located between the lower pad 241 of intermediate 240 and the upper conductive pattern 223 of package substrate 220. Internal connection member 230 can include, for example, a conductive material, including tin (Sn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), or combinations thereof.

[0079] The first semiconductor chip 250 may include a substrate 251 and a semiconductor device 252 located on the lower surface of the substrate 251. The second semiconductor chip 260 may include a substrate 261 and a semiconductor device 262 located on the lower surface of the substrate 261. The descriptions of the substrates 251 and 261 of the first semiconductor chip 250 and the second semiconductor chip 260 are consistent with... Figure 1 The descriptions of the substrates 141 and 151 of the first semiconductor chip 140 and the second semiconductor chip 150 are the same and will therefore be omitted here. The descriptions of the semiconductor devices 252 and 262 of the first semiconductor chip 250 and the second semiconductor chip 260 are the same as those of the substrates 141 and 151 of the second semiconductor chip 150. Figure 1 The semiconductor devices 142 and 152 of the first semiconductor chip 140 and the second semiconductor chip 150 are described the same, and therefore will be omitted here.

[0080] According to the inventive concept, since there are no bumps between the first semiconductor chip 250 and the interposer 240, and between the second semiconductor chip 260 and the interposer 240, due to the direct contact between the first bonding pad BPa and the third bonding pad BPc, and between the second bonding pad BPb and the fourth bonding pad BPd, the first semiconductor chip 250 and the second semiconductor chip 260 can be directly connected to the interposer 240. Therefore, because a polymer layer with low thermal conductivity, located between the first semiconductor chip 250 and the interposer 240 and between the second semiconductor chip 260 and the interposer 240, is not required around the bumps, the semiconductor package 200 can have improved thermal conductivity. Because relatively large bumps are not required, bonding pads BPa to BPd with small size and small pitch can be used, and therefore the semiconductor package 200 can have improved integration and increased speed.

[0081] Figures 17A to 17H This is a cross-sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. Figure 17F yes Figure 17E A magnified view of region C. (Refer to...) Figure 17A Multiple first semiconductor chips 140 can be arranged on the carrier CR. According to some embodiments, multiple connecting members CP can be further arranged on the carrier CR.

[0082] Reference Figure 17BA first molding layer MD1 can be formed on a carrier CR surrounding a plurality of first semiconductor chips 140 and a plurality of connecting members CP. For example, the first molding layer MD1 can be formed on the carrier CR, the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140, and the plurality of connecting members CP. Next, the first molding layer MD1 can be planarized, exposing the respective upper surfaces of the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140 and the respective upper surfaces of the plurality of connecting members CP. According to some embodiments, after the first molding layer MD1 surrounding the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140 is formed on the carrier CR, a plurality of connecting members CP penetrating the first molding layer MD1 can be arranged on the carrier CR.

[0083] Reference Figure 17C Multiple first bonding pads BP1 can be formed on multiple first semiconductor chips 140. Multiple third bonding pads BP3 can be formed on multiple connecting members CP. A first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be formed around the multiple first bonding pads BP1 on the multiple first semiconductor chips 140 and the first molding layer MD1. The first bonding pads BP1 and the third bonding pads BP3 can be formed, for example, by sputtering and / or electroplating. The first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be formed, for example, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The material of the first molding layer MD1 can withstand temperatures of about 300°C or higher while forming the first bonding insulating layer BO1, can have a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 10 ppm / °C or less, and can be selected as a material with good adhesion to the first bonding insulating layer BO1. Through the above operations, a first wafer structure WS1 can be formed. The first wafer structure WS1 includes a plurality of first semiconductor chips 140, a plurality of connecting members CP, a first molding layer MD1 surrounding the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140 and the plurality of connecting members CP, a plurality of first bonding pads BP1 located on the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140, a plurality of third bonding pads BP3 located on the plurality of connecting members CP, and a first bonding insulating layer BO1 located on the plurality of first semiconductor chips 140 and the first molding layer MD1.

[0084] Reference Figure 17DA second wafer structure WS2 can be formed, comprising a plurality of second semiconductor chips 150, a plurality of second bonding pads BP2 located on the plurality of second semiconductor chips 150, a plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4 located on the plurality of second semiconductor chips 150, and a second bonding insulating layer BO2 located on and surrounding the plurality of second bonding pads BP2 and the plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4. Specifically, the plurality of second semiconductor chips 150 can be formed by forming a plurality of semiconductor devices 152 on the wafer W. The plurality of second semiconductor chips 150 can share a single wafer W. In other words, the substrate 151 of each second semiconductor chip 150 can be part of the same wafer W. The plurality of second bonding pads BP2 and the plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4 can be formed on the plurality of second semiconductor chips 150. The plurality of second bonding pads BP2 and the plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4 can be formed, for example, by sputtering and / or electroplating. The second bonding insulating layer BO2 can be formed on the plurality of second semiconductor chips 150 surrounding the plurality of second bonding pads BP2 and the plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4. The second bonding insulating layer BO2 can be formed, for example, by CVD.

[0085] Reference Figure 17E and Figure 17F This allows the first wafer structure WS1 to be bonded to the second wafer structure WS2. According to some embodiments, the first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be first combined with the second bonding insulating layer BO2. For example, the first bonding insulating layer BO1 and the second bonding insulating layer BO2 can be combined by applying a relatively low pressure (about 1 kN or less) at room temperature (about 25°C). According to some embodiments, when the first bonding insulating layer BO1 has been bonded to the second bonding insulating layer BO2, the first bonding pad BP1 and the third bonding pad BP3 may be recessed upwards from the lower surface of the first bonding insulating layer BO1. The second bonding pad BP2 and the fourth bonding pad BP4 may be recessed downwards from the upper surface of the second bonding insulating layer BO2. Therefore, the first bonding pad BP1 may not be bonded to the second bonding pad BP2, and the third bonding pad BP3 may not be bonded to the fourth bonding pad BP4. Next, for example, by raising the temperature to about 300°C, the first bonding pad BP1 can be bonded to the second bonding pad BP2, and the third bonding pad BP3 can be bonded to the fourth bonding pad BP4. In other words, the operation of bonding the first bonding insulating layer BO1 to the second bonding insulating layer BO2 can be performed at a first temperature, and the operation of bonding a plurality of first bonding pads BP1 and a plurality of third bonding pads BP3 to a plurality of second bonding pads BP2 and a plurality of fourth bonding pads BP4 can be performed at a second temperature, and the second temperature (e.g., about 300°C) can be higher than the first temperature (e.g., about 25°C).

[0086] According to another embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the first bonding pad BP1 can protrude upward from the upper surface of the first bonding insulating layer BO1, and the second bonding pad BP2 can protrude downward from the lower surface of the second bonding insulating layer BO2. Therefore, even when the first bonding pad BP1 contacts the second bonding pad BP2, the first bonding insulating layer BO1 can be spaced apart from the second bonding insulating layer BO2. Thus, the first bonding pad BP1 can bond to the second bonding pad BP2, but the first bonding insulating layer BO1 can not bond to the second bonding insulating layer BO2.

[0087] When the first wafer structure WS1 is bonded to the second wafer structure WS2, misalignment may occur between the first wafer structure WS1 and the second wafer structure WS2. The misalignment between the first wafer structure WS1 and the second wafer structure WS2 can be approximately 100 nm or smaller. For example... Figure 3B As shown, misalignment between the first wafer structure WS1 and the second wafer structure WS2 may lead to misalignment between the first bonding pad BP1 and the second bonding pad BP2.

[0088] Reference Figure 17E and Figure 17G The carrier CR can be separated from the first wafer structure WS1. Next, a first connection structure 130 can be formed on the first wafer structure WS1. To reduce the thickness of the wafer W, a portion of the wafer W can be removed (e.g., ground).

[0089] Reference Figure 17H Multiple terminal pads 120 can be formed on the first connection structure 130. Next, multiple external connection terminals 110 can be formed on the multiple terminal pads 120 respectively. The multiple external connection terminals 110 can be formed, for example, by reflowing solder balls. By cutting / dicing the first connection structure 130, the first wafer structure WS1, and the second wafer structure WS2 together along the dicing line CL, multiple first semiconductor chips 140 and multiple second semiconductor chips 150 can be divided into... Figure 1 Multiple semiconductor packages 100. According to reference... Figures 17A to 17H The described semiconductor package manufacturing method can form Figure 1 Semiconductor package 100. When the first semiconductor chip 140 can be Figure 14 When the semiconductor chip stack 140S is replaced, it can form Figure 14 100J of semiconductor packaging components.

[0090] According to reference Figures 17A to 17HThe described semiconductor package manufacturing method allows multiple first semiconductor chips 140 to be processed into a single first wafer structure WS1, and multiple second semiconductor chips 150 to be processed into a single second wafer structure WS2, with the first wafer structure WS1 directly bonded to the second wafer structure WS2. By processing the multiple first semiconductor chips 140 and the multiple second semiconductor chips 150 into the first wafer structure WS1 and the second wafer structure WS2, problems caused by particles generated during the operation of dicing wafers W to obtain the first semiconductor chips 140 and the second semiconductor chips 150, as well as during the operation of processing the first semiconductor chips 140 and the second semiconductor chips 150 separately, can be prevented or reduced. Because wafer-to-wafer direct bonding can significantly reduce the number of bonding processes performed and can increase the yield of the bonding process, wafer-to-wafer direct bonding is more advantageous than chip-to-wafer direct bonding. Because wafer-to-wafer direct bonding can be easier or more precise than chip-to-wafer direct bonding, wafer-to-wafer direct bonding is more advantageous than chip-to-wafer direct bonding.
