For example, the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the first wiring layer L1 may be different from the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the second wiring layer L2 and the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the third wiring layer L3. However, the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the first wiring layer L1, the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the second wiring layer L2, and the thickness of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the third wiring layer L3 may all have a value greater than the second thickness T2.

In some embodiments, the lower surface of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the fourth wiring layer L4 may be at a higher vertical height than the lower surface of the extended base layer 310 in which the via connection pattern 322 constituting the fourth wiring layer L4 is buried. The lower surface of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the second wiring layer L2 may be at the same vertical height as the lower surface of the extended base layer 310 in which the via connection pattern 322 constituting the second wiring layer L2 is buried. The lower surface of the via connection pattern 322 constituting the third wiring layer L3 may be at the same vertical height as the lower surface of the extended base layer 310 in which the via connection pattern 322 constituting the third wiring layer L3 is buried.
[0046] The extension structure 300 may have a plurality of depressions 322R formed in its lower surface. The plurality of depressions 322R may be defined by the via connection pattern 322 constituting the fourth wiring layer L4 and the extension base layer 310. Each depression 322R may have a first depth D1 from the bottom of the extension structure 300. The first depth D1 may be about 2 μm to about 5 μm.
[0047] The via connection pattern 322 (e.g., multiple lower extension connection pads 322P2) constituting the fourth wiring layer L4 may include multiple first lower connection pads 322P2C adjacent to the mounting space 300G and multiple second lower connection pads 322P2E spaced apart from the mounting space 300G, and the multiple first lower connection pads 322P2C are disposed between the multiple second lower connection pads 322P2E and the mounting space 300G. In a top view, the multiple first lower connection pads 322P2C may be arranged around the mounting space 300G and may at least partially surround the mounting space 300G. In a top view, the multiple second lower connection pads 322P2E may at least partially surround the multiple first lower connection pads 322P2C.
[0048] Each of the plurality of first lower connection pads 322P2C may have a pad groove 322T. The pad groove 322T may pass through the first lower connection pad 322P2C so that the first lower connection pad 322P2C is not divided into two parts and may be spaced apart from the edge of the first lower connection pad 322P2C in a top view. The pad groove 322T may be located in the first lower connection pad 322P2C between the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C and the first redistribution path 224 and the mounting space 300G. The pad groove 322T may extend from the upper surface of the first lower connection pad 322P2C to the lower surface, and extend into the first redistribution insulation layer 210 in contact with the first lower connection pad 322P2C.
[0049] The extended base layer 310 in which a plurality of lower extended connection pads 322P2 are buried includes a base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T of the first lower connection pad 322P2C. The base dam 310D may have a first horizontal width W1. For example, the first horizontal width W1 may be about 10 μm to about 30 μm. The base dam 310D may protrude downward from the lower surface of the first lower connection pad 322P2C and extend into the first redistribution insulating layer 210. The height of the protruding area of the base dam 310D protruding downward from the lower surface of the first lower connection pad 322P2C may correspond to the first depth D1. For example, the height of the protruding area of the base dam 310D protruding downward from the lower surface of the first lower connection pad 322P2C may be about 2 μm to about 5 μm.
[0050] The bottom of the extended base layer 310 in which the plurality of lower extended connection pads 322P2 are buried and the lower surface of the base dam 310D may be at the same vertical height. In some embodiments, the bottom of the extended base layer 310 in which the plurality of lower extended connection pads 322P2 are buried, the lower surface of the base dam 310D, and the first surface of the semiconductor chip 100 may be at the same vertical height.
[0051] The filling insulating layer 390 may include a bleeding portion 390BD extending from the mounting space 300G along the lower surface of the extension structure 300 and / or the first surface of the semiconductor chip 100. Among the bleeding portions 390BD, a portion disposed on the lower surface of the extension structure 300 may be referred to as a first bleeding portion 390BDa, and a portion disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor chip 100 may be referred to as a second bleeding portion 390BDb. In some embodiments, the bleeding portion 390BD may include only the first bleeding portion 390Bda, and may not include the second bleeding portion 390BDb.
[0052] The first oozing portion 390BDa may extend from the mounting space 300G along the lower surface of the extension structure 300, extend into the lower recess 322R, and contact the first lower connecting pad 322P2C. The oozing portion 390BD including the first oozing portion 390BDa and the second oozing portion 390BDb may extend into the lower recess 322R defined by the extension base layer 310 and the lower surface of the first lower connecting pad 322P2C, but may not extend into the lower recess 322R defined by the extension base layer 310 and the lower surface of the second lower connecting pad 322P2E. Figure 1D It is shown that the first seepage portion 390BDa does not contact the base dam 310D in the lower recess 322R. However, this is an example, and embodiments are not necessarily limited to this. For example, the first seepage portion 390BDa may contact the base dam 310D inside the lower recess 322R. The first seepage portion 390BDa may contact a portion of the lower surface of the first lower connecting pad 322P2C based on the base dam 310D close to the mounting space 300G, but may not contact a portion of the lower surface of the first lower connecting pad 322P2C based on the base dam 310D away from the mounting space 300G. Refer to the following FIG. 2A to FIG. 2J This is described in detail.
[0053] The thickness of the oozing portion 390BD including the first oozing portion 390BDa and the second oozing portion 390BDb may be smaller than the thickness of each of the plurality of chip pads 120. The second oozing portion 390BDb may extend from the mounting space 300G along the first surface of the semiconductor chip 100. Likewise, the second oozing portion 390BDb may not contact the plurality of chip pads 120, or may contact only a portion of the side surface of some of the plurality of chip pads 120. However, the second oozing portion 390BDb may not contact the lower surface of the plurality of chip pads 120.
[0054] The pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T are located between the first redistribution path 224 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C and the mounting space 300G. Therefore, even if the seepage portion 390BD covers a portion of the lower surface of the first lower connection pad 322P2C, the base dam 310D can prevent the seepage portion 390BD from extending to the first redistribution path 224.
[0055] The second wiring structure 400 may include a second redistribution insulating layer 410 and a plurality of second redistribution patterns 420. The plurality of second redistribution patterns 420 may include a plurality of second redistribution line patterns 422 and a plurality of second redistribution paths 424. In some embodiments, the plurality of second redistribution patterns 420 may further include a plurality of second redistribution seed layers. The second redistribution insulating layer 410 and the plurality of second redistribution patterns 420 of the second wiring structure 400 are substantially similar to the first redistribution insulating layer 210 and the plurality of first redistribution patterns 220 of the first wiring structure 200, and therefore, to the extent that an element is not described in detail with respect to this figure, it is understood that the element is at least similar to a corresponding element that has been described elsewhere within the present disclosure.
[0056] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second wiring structure 400 may be less than the thickness of the first wiring structure 200. For example, the first wiring structure 200 may have a thickness of about 30 μm to about 50 μm. Likewise, the second wiring structure 400 may be thinner than the first wiring structure 200 and may have a thickness of about 20 μm to about 40 μm. In some embodiments, the second wiring structure 400 may include a plurality of second redistribution insulating layers 410 stacked on each other. For example, the number of second redistribution insulating layers 410 stacked on each other in the second wiring structure 400 may be less than the number of first redistribution insulating layers 210 stacked on each other in the first wiring structure 200. The upper surface of the filling insulating layer 390 and the lower surface of the second redistribution insulating layer 410 may be at the same vertical height.
[0057] The plurality of first redistribution vias 424 may pass through at least one second redistribution insulating layer 410, and then may contact and be connected to some of the plurality of second redistribution line patterns 422. In some embodiments, the plurality of second redistribution vias 424 may each be in a tapered shape extending from bottom to top with increasing horizontal widths. For example, the horizontal widths of the plurality of second redistribution vias 424 may increase away from at least one semiconductor chip 100. The lowermost second redistribution via 424 of the plurality of second redistribution vias 424 may be connected to the upper surface of the via structure 320. In some embodiments, the lowermost second redistribution via 424 of the plurality of second redistribution vias 424 may pass through the filling insulating layer 390 and be connected to the upper surface of the via structure 320.
[0058] In some embodiments, at least some of the second redistribution line patterns 422 of the plurality of second redistribution line patterns 422 may be formed together with some of the second redistribution paths 424 of the plurality of second redistribution passages 424 to form an integrated body. For example, the second redistribution line pattern 422 and the second redistribution path 424 in contact with the lower surface of the second redistribution line pattern 422 (e.g., the second redistribution path 424 extending from the lower surface of the second redistribution line pattern 422) may be formed together to form an integrated body. For example, the horizontal width of each of the plurality of second redistribution paths 424 may decrease in a direction away from the second redistribution line pattern 422 integrated therewith. The second redistribution seed layer may cover the lower portion of the second redistribution line pattern 422 and the second redistribution path 424 integrated with each other. For example, among the surfaces of the second redistribution line pattern 422 and the second redistribution path 424 integrated with each other, the second redistribution seed layer may cover the lower surface of the second redistribution line pattern 422 and the side surface and the lower surface of the second redistribution path 424. The second redistribution seed layer may not cover side surfaces and upper surfaces of the second redistribution line patterns 422 .
[0059] The second wiring structure 400 may include a plurality of upper connection pads PAD-U disposed on an upper surface of the second wiring structure 400. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of upper connection pads PAD-U may include a portion of the second redistribution line pattern 422 and an upper connection pad layer 430 covering an upper surface of the portion of the second redistribution line pattern 422. The upper connection pad layer 430 may include a first upper metal layer 432 and a second upper metal layer 434 sequentially stacked on the second redistribution line pattern 422. In some embodiments, the first upper metal layer 432 may include nickel (Ni), and the second upper metal layer 434 may include gold (Au), but embodiments are not necessarily limited thereto.
[0060] In the semiconductor package 1, according to the inventive concept, the extension structure 300 includes the base dam 310D. Therefore, even if the filling insulating layer 390 includes the seepage portion 390BD extending from the mounting space 300G along the lower surface of the extension structure 300, the seepage portion 390BD can be prevented from extending to the portion of the lower extension connection pad 322P2 that contacts the first redistribution via 224. Therefore, the first redistribution pattern 220 of the first wiring structure 200 and the via structure 320 of the extension structure 300 can be prevented from being short-circuited by the seepage portion 390BD, and therefore, the reliability of the electrical connection of the semiconductor package 1 can be improved.
[0061] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2J 2 is an enlarged top view showing a first lower connection pad 322P2C and its surrounding area in a semiconductor package as a FOPLP according to an embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 2A to FIG. 2J When viewed from below Figures 1A to 1D An enlarged top view of the extension structure 300 of the semiconductor package 1 is shown.
[0062] refer to Figure 2A , as the first lower connection pad 322P2C of the path connection pattern 322 constituting the fourth wiring layer L4, it can be positioned adjacent to the installation space 300G. The first lower connection pad 322P2C can be buried in the extended base layer 310. The semiconductor chip 100 and the filling insulation layer 390 at least partially surrounding the semiconductor chip 100 can fill the installation space 300G. In some embodiments, the first lower connection pad 322P2C can have a shape in which a semicircle and a rectangle are coupled to each other in a top view. For example, the first lower connection pad 322P2C can include a first portion P1 in a semicircular shape in a top view and a second portion P2 in a rectangular shape in a top view. The first portion P1 and the second portion P2 of the first lower connection pad 322P2C can be integrated with each other. The second portion P2 can be located between the first portion P1 and the installation space 300G. For example, the first portion P1 can be positioned away from the installation space 300G, but the second portion P2 can be positioned close to the installation space 300G. In some embodiments, the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C may overlap the first portion P1 and the second portion P2 in a vertical direction (e.g., Z direction). For example, a portion of the extension path 324 may overlap the first portion P1 in a vertical direction (e.g., Z direction), and another portion of the extension path 324 may overlap the second portion P2. In some embodiments, the radius of the semicircular first portion P1 may be smaller than the length of the short side of the rectangular second portion P2.
[0063] The first lower connection pad 322P2C may have a pad groove 322T. The extended base layer 310 in which the first lower connection pad 322P2C is buried may include a base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T. The pad groove 322T may pass through the first lower connection pad 322P2C so that the first lower connection pad 322P2C is not divided into two parts and may be spaced apart from the edge of the first lower connection pad 322P2C in a top view. The pad groove 322T may be located in the first lower connection pad 322P2C between the mounting space 300G and the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C. The pad groove 322T may be located in the second part P2 of the first lower connection pad 322P2C.
[0064] In some embodiments, the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T may be in an arc shape in a top view. In a top view, the center of the arc shape of the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D may substantially coincide with the center of the semicircular shape of the first portion P1 of the first lower connecting pad 322P2C, but the embodiment is not necessarily limited thereto. In a top view, the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D may at least partially surround the area of the extension passage 324 facing the mounting space 300G. In a top view, the radius of the arc shape of the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T may be greater than the radius of the semicircular shape of the first portion P1 of the first lower connecting pad 322P2C.
[0065] In some embodiments, the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C in a top view may be circular in shape. In a top view, the center of the circular shape of the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C may substantially coincide with the center of the arc shape of the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D and / or the center of the semicircular shape of the first portion P1 of the first lower connection pad 322P2C, but the embodiment is not necessarily limited thereto. In a top view, the radius of the circular shape of the extension path 324 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C may be smaller than the radius of the arc shape of the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T and the radius of the semicircular shape of the first portion P1 of the first lower connection pad 322P2C.
[0066] The filling insulating layer 390 may include an oozing portion 390BD extending from the mounting space 300G to the lower side of the extension structure 300 and / or the semiconductor chip 100. In the oozing portion 390BD, the portion disposed below the extension structure 300 may be referred to as a first oozing portion 390BDa, and the portion disposed below the semiconductor chip 100 may be referred to as a second oozing portion 390BDb. In some embodiments, the oozing portion 390BD may include only the first oozing portion 390Bda, and may not include the second oozing portion 390BDb. During the process of forming the filling insulating layer 390 filling the mounting space 300G, the oozing portion 390BD may be formed as a portion of the material forming the filling insulating layer 390 penetrates the lower side of the extension structure 300 and / or the semiconductor chip 100 from the mounting space 300G.
[0067] The seepage portion 390BD may extend from the mounting space 300G to the lower side of the extension structure 300, and may cover a portion of the first lower connection pad 322P2C. The seepage portion 390BD may extend from the mounting space 300G to the lower side of the semiconductor chip 100, and may cover a portion of the first lower connection pad 322P2C. However, the seepage portion 390BD may not extend further due to the base dam 310D, and therefore may not cover another portion of the first lower connection pad 322P2C. For example, the seepage portion 390BD may cover a portion of the second portion P2 of the first lower connection pad 322P2C adjacent to the mounting space 300G based on the base dam 310D, but may not cover another portion of the first portion P1 and the second portion P2 separated from the mounting space 300G based on the base dam 310D. In a top view, the seepage portion 390BD may not overlap with the extension path 324 and a portion of the first lower connection pad 322P2C adjacent to the extension path 324.
[0068] refer to Figure 2B , the pad groove 322T of the first lower connection pad 322P2C may include a first pad groove 322T1 and a second pad groove 322T2 spaced apart from each other. The base dam 310D of the extended base layer 310 in which the first lower connection pad 322P2C is buried may include a first base dam 310D1 filling the first pad groove 322T1 and a second base dam 310D2 filling the second pad groove 322T2. In a top view, the first base dam 310D1 filling the first pad groove 322T1 and the second base dam 310D2 filling the second pad groove 322T2 may be spaced apart from each other between the first redistribution path 224 connected to the first lower connection pad 322P2C and the mounting space 300G.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first pad groove 322T1, the first base dam 310D1 filling the first pad groove 322T1, the second pad groove 322T2, and the second base dam 310D2 filling the second pad groove 322T2 may each be in an arc shape. In a top view, the center of the arc shape of the first pad groove 322T1 and the first base dam 310D1 filling the first pad groove 322T1 may substantially coincide with the center of the arc shape of the second pad groove 322T2 and the second base dam 310D2 filling the second pad groove 322T2. In a top view, the radius of the arc shape of the first pad groove 322T1 and the first base dam 310D1 filling the first pad groove 322T1 may be greater than the radius of the arc shape of the second pad groove 322T2 and the second base dam 310D2 filling the second pad groove 322T2. In the top view, the second pad groove 322T2 and the second base dam 310D2 may at least partially surround the area of the extension passage 324 facing the mounting space 300G, and the first pad groove 322T1 and the first base dam 310D1 may at least partially surround the area of the second pad groove 322T2 and the area of the second base dam 310D2 facing the mounting space 300G.
[0070] When the seepage portion 390BD extends from the mounting space 300G to the lower side of the extension structure 300 while covering a portion of the first lower connection pad 322P2C, even if the seepage portion 390BD extends while covering the first base dam 310D1, the seepage portion 390BD may not extend further due to the second base dam 310D2. Therefore, the seepage portion 390BD may not cover the first portion P1 and another portion of the second portion P2 separated from the mounting space 300G based on the second base dam 310D2.
[0071] refer to Figure 2C In some embodiments, the pad trench 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad trench 322T may be U-shaped. In a top view, the pad trench 322T and the base dam 310D may at least partially surround a region of the extension via 324 facing the mounting space 300G.
[0072] refer to Figure 2D The pad groove 322T of the first lower connection pad 322P2C may include a first pad groove 322T1 and a second pad groove 322T2 spaced apart from each other.

In a top view, the second pad groove 322T2 and the second base dam 310D2 may at least partially surround the area of the extension passage 324 facing the mounting space 300G, and the first pad groove 322T1 and the first base dam 310D1 may at least partially surround the area of the second pad groove 322T2 and the area of the second base dam 310D2 facing the mounting space 300G.
[0074] refer to Figure 2E In some embodiments, the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad groove 322T may be in a strip shape. In a top view, the pad groove 322T and the base dam 310D may be in a strip shape extending between the mounting space 300G and the extension passage 324 along the edge of the mounting space 300G adjacent thereto.
[0075] refer to Figure 2F The pad groove 322T of the first lower connection pad 322P2C may include a first pad groove 322T1 and a second pad groove 322T2 spaced apart from each other.

However, this is an example, and embodiments are not necessarily limited thereto. In some embodiments, the extension length of the strip shape of the first pad trench 322T1 and the first base dam 310D1 may be greater than the extension length of the strip shape of the second pad trench 322T2 and the second base dam 310D2.
[0078] refer to Figure 2GIn some embodiments, the pad trench 322T and the base dam 310D filling the pad trench 322T may be V-shaped. In a top view, the pad trench 322T and the base dam 310D may at least partially surround a region of the extension via 324 facing the mounting space 300G.
