Patent ID: 8530979

Claim:
A semiconductor package comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a functional element disposed on one surface of the semiconductor substrate; a lattice-shaped junction member disposed on the one surface of the semiconductor substrate, the lattice-shaped junction member having an internal circumference defining a hollow portion surrounding the functional element, and the lattice-shaped junction member being made of a resin material; a protection substrate that is disposed on and bonded to the lattice-shaped junction member; an electrode pad formed on the one surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a through electrode electrically interconnecting an other surface of the semiconductor substrate with the electrode pad; wherein the lattice-shaped junction member is disposed between the semiconductor substrate and the protection substrate such that the internal circumference of the lattice-shaped junction member defines the hollow portion between the semiconductor substrate and the protection substrate; wherein the area defined by the internal circumference of the lattice-shaped junction member has a shape different from a shape of an outer circumference of the functional element, or the area defined by the internal circumference of the lattice-shaped junction member has a symmetric center which is offset from a symmetric center of the functional element; wherein the lattice-shaped junction member physically covers a surface of the electrode pad; and wherein disposing the lattice-shaped junction member on the semiconductor substrate comprises disposing the lattice-shaped junction member so that a is a minimum width of the junction member and b is a maximum width of the junction member, and b/a is in a range of 1 to 5.
