During grinding, all of the first bumps are completely exposed by determining a width of an exposed surface of the second bump to electrically connect to the redistribution is increased. Therefore, a shallow-grinding or over-grinding does not occur.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Powertech Technology Inc.Inventors: Shang-Yu Chang-Chien, Hung-Hsin Hsu, Nan-Chun Lin
