Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a semiconductor package including a semiconductor chip having one surface on which chip pads are formed, and a redistribution structure formed on the one surface of the semiconductor chip. The redistribution structure includes a redistribution layer connected to the chip pads and a redistribution insulating layer interposed between the semiconductor chip and the redistribution layer. The redistribution insulating layer includes a first insulating portion having a first dielectric constant and a second insulating portion having a second dielectric constant that is different from the first dielectric constant. The first insulating portion and the second insulating portion are connected to each other in a horizontal direction.
