## Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes a base having a device-attach surface and a solder-ball attach surface opposite to the device-attach surface. A conductive via is disposed passing through the base. The conductive via includes a first terminal surface aligned to the device-attach surface of the base. A semiconductor die is mounted on the base by a conductive structure. The conductive structure is in contact with the first terminal surface of the conductive via.
