Abstract: A semiconductor package includes: a first insulating layer; a plurality of first conductive elements disposed in the first insulating layer; a first circuit layer formed on the first insulating layer; a semiconductor chip disposed on the first insulating layer; and an encapsulant formed on the first insulating layer and encapsulating the semiconductor chip. The first conductive elements that are bonding wires have a small diameter and thus occupy desired limited space on the first insulating layer. Therefore, more space is available for the first circuit layer.
