    Abstract: An interposer includes a base layer including a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other. An interconnect structure is disposed on the first surface. The interconnect structure includes a metal interconnect pattern and an insulating layer surrounding the metal interconnect pattern. A first lower protection layer is disposed on the second surface. A plurality of lower conductive pads is disposed on the first lower protection layer. A plurality of through electrodes penetrates the base layer and the first lower protection layer. The plurality of through electrodes electrically connects the metal interconnect pattern of the interconnect structure to the lower conductive pads. At least one of the insulating layer and the first lower protection layer has compressive stress. A thickness of the first lower protection layer is in a range of about 13% to about 30% of a thickness of the insulating layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a base substrate and an interposer substrate. The interposer substrate includes a semiconductor substrate, a first passivation layer, a wiring region, a through via penetrating through the semiconductor substrate and the first passivation layer, and a second passivation layer covering at least a portion of the first passivation layer and having an opening exposing a lower surface of the through via. The semiconductor package further includes a conductive pillar extending from the opening of the second passivation layer; and a conductive bump disposed between the conductive pillar and the base substrate. The opening of the second passivation layer has inclined side surfaces such that a width of the opening decreases towards the first passivation layer, and side surfaces of the conductive pillar are positioned to overlap the inclined side surfaces of the second passivation layer in a vertical direction.
