## Abstract

A multilayered substrate in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure may include an insulating layer, a conductive pattern embedded, at least partially, in the insulating layer, and a bump being electrically connected to the conductive pattern and penetrating the insulating layer. The bump may include a low melting point metal layer having a melting point lower than a melting point of the conductive pattern and a high melting point metal layer having a melting point higher than the melting point of the low melting point metal layer and having a latitudinal cross-sectional area smaller than a latitudinal cross-sectional area of the low melting point metal layer.
