Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip having a plurality of bonding pads. Through-electrodes are formed in the semiconductor chip and are electrically connected to the bonding pads. The through electrodes comprise a plurality of conductors and a plurality of voids that are defined by the conductors. Each conductor may include a plurality of nanowires grouped into a spherical shape having a plurality of voids, a plurality of nanowires grouped into a polygonal shape having a plurality of voids, or the conductors may include a plurality of micro solder balls. The voids of the through electrode absorb stress caused when head is generated during the driving of the semiconductor package.
