Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor package is provided, including: cutting a substrate into a plurality of interposers; disposing the interposers in a plurality of openings of a carrier, wherein the openings are spaced from one another by a distance; forming a first encapsulant to encapsulate the interposers; removing the carrier; and disposing at least a semiconductor element on each of the interposers. By cutting the substrate first, good interposers can be selected and rearranged such that finished packages can be prevented from being wasted due to inferior interposers.
