  • Patent number: 9941196
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second surface defines a redistribution trench. The substrate has a via hole extending therethrough. The semiconductor device also includes a through via disposed in the via hole. The through via may include a via hole insulating layer, a barrier layer, sequentially formed on an inner wall of the via hole. The through via may further include a conductive connector adjacent the barrier layer. The semiconductor device additionally includes an insulation layer pattern formed on the second surface of the substrate. The insulation layer pattern defines an opening that exposes a region of a top surface of the through via. The semiconductor devices includes a redistribution layer disposed in the trench and electrically connected to the through via. The insulation layer pattern overlaps a region of the conductive connector.

  • Patent number: 9905550
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concepts provide a semiconductor package and a method of fabricating the same. The method includes forming a groove to separate first semiconductor chips from each other. Forming the groove include performing a first sawing process on a bottom surface of a semiconductor substrate to cut the semiconductor substrate and a portion of a mold layer in a direction inclined with respect to the bottom surface, and performing a second sawing process to cut the mold layer in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate. A minimum width of the groove formed in the semiconductor substrate by the first sawing process may be greater than a width of the groove formed in the mold layer by the second sawing process.
