Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor substrate including a main chip region and a scribe lane region surrounding the main chip region. An insulating layer is disposed over the semiconductor substrate. A guard ring is disposed in the insulating layer in the scribe lane region. The guard ring surrounds at least a portion of the main chip region. The guard ring has a brittleness greater than a brittleness of the insulating layer.
Abstract:
According to example embodiments, a semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor chip is on a first substrate, a protective layer directly on the first semiconductor chip, and an encapsulant covering an upper surface of the first substrate. The encapsulant may contact side surfaces of the first semiconductor chip and the protective layer.
