Abstract

A first semiconductor package includes a first substrate, a first semiconductor chip attached to the first substrate, an encapsulant which covers the first semiconductor chip, and conductive elastic members which are embedded in the encapsulant but with parts thereof exposed. A package on package (POP) includes the first semiconductor package and a second semiconductor package stacked in the first semiconductor package. The second semiconductor package includes a second substrate and a second semiconductor chip attached to the second substrate. The exposed parts of the elastic members are electrically connected to the second substrate. The encapsulant of the first package is formed by a molding process while the conductive elastic members are compressed within their elastic limit by the mold.
