Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor package and a manufacturing method for the semiconductor package are provided. The semiconductor package has a first redistribution layer, a first die over the first redistribution layer, a molding compound encapsulating at least one second die and at least one third die disposed on the first redistribution layer, and at least one fourth die and conductive elements connected to the first redistribution layer. Through vias of the first die are electrically connected to through interlayer vias penetrating through the molding compound and are electrically connected to the first redistribution layer. The semiconductor package may further include a second redistribution layer disposed on the molding compound and between the first die, the second die and the third die.
