Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes a lower chip, an upper chip on the lower chip, and an adhesive layer between the lower chip and the upper chip. The lower chip has first through silicon vias (TSVs) and pads on an upper surface thereof. The pads are connected to the first TSVs, respectively. The upper chip includes bumps on a lower surface thereof. The bumps are bonded to the pads. Vertical centerlines of the bumps are aligned with vertical centerlines of the first TSVs, respectively. The vertical centerlines of the bumps are offset from the vertical centerlines of the pads, respectively, in a peripheral region of the lower chip.

Claim (Index 23):
A semiconductor package or device comprising:\n a substrate having a substrate body, through-vias extending vertically through the substrate body, and pads on an upper surface of the substrate body, the pads being disposed on and electrically connected to the through-vias, respectively; a chip comprising an integrated circuit on the substrate, the chip including a chip body, and bumps on a lower surface of the chip body, the bumps electrically connected to the integrated circuit and directly bonded to corresponding ones of the pads, respectively, and each of the bumps including a pillar and a solder layer; and an adhesive layer between the substrate body and the chip body, wherein each of the pillars of the bumps and the through-vias has a centerline extending in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate body, the centerlines of the pillars of the bumps extend through geometric centers of the pillars, respectively, as viewed in a plan view of the semiconductor package or device, the centerlines of the through-vias coincide with axial centers of the through-vias, respectively, the centerlines of the pillars of the bumps are aligned with the centerlines of the through-vias, respectively, and for each of the pads in a peripheral region of the substrate, one part of the pad closer to a peripheral edge of the substrate has a surface is greater than that of a remainder of the pad closer to a central region of the substrate, the one part of the pad and the remainder of the pad being on opposite sides of the centerline of the through-via on which the pad is disposed, along an outer direction extending from the central region of the substrate to the peripheral edge of the substrate, such that the pad is asymmetrical with respect to the centerline of the through-via on which the pad is disposed.
