  • Patent number: 10056325
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package and a manufacturing method thereof. The semiconductor package includes a semiconductor element including a main body, a plurality of conductive vias, and at least one filler. The conductive vias penetrate through the main body. The filler is located in the main body, and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the filler is different from that of the main body and the conductive vias. Thus, the CTE of the overall semiconductor element can be adjusted, so as to reduce warpage.
