Abstract

Semiconductor packages connecting a semiconductor chip to an external device by bumps are provided. The semiconductor packages may include a connection pad on a semiconductor chip, a connecting bump on and configured to be electrically connected to the connection pad and a supporting bump on the semiconductor chip and configured to be electrically isolated from the connection pad. The connection bump may include a first pillar and a first solder ball and the supporting bump may include a second pillar and a second solder ball. The semiconductor packages may further include a solder channel in the second pillar configured to allow a portion of the second solder ball to extend into the solder channel along a predetermined direction.
