Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor package includes attaching a semiconductor substrate on a support substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate includes a plurality of first semiconductor chips and a chip cutting region that separates respective ones of the semiconductor chips. A first cutting groove is formed that has a first kerf width between first and second ones of the plurality of first semiconductor chips. A plurality of second semiconductor chips is attached to the plurality of first semiconductor chips. A molding layer is formed so as to fill the first cutting groove and a second cutting groove having a second kerf width that is less than the first kerf width is formed in the molding layer so as to form individual molding layers covering one of the plurality of first semiconductor chips and one of the plurality of second semiconductor chips.

Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of improving the efficiency of dispersing heat via a dummy pad. The semiconductor device may be included in a semiconductor package, stack module, card, or system. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device. In the semiconductor device, a semiconductor substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and at least one conductive pad is arranged on a predetermined region of the first surface. At least one dummy pad is arranged on the first or second surface, and is not electrically coupled to the at least one conductive pad. The dummy pad or pads may be used to disperse heat. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the efficiency of dispersing heat of a semiconductor device, thereby improving the yield of semiconductor devices.
