Abstract
An electronic package, a packaging substrate and a fabricating method are provided, in which a conductive bump pad is formed on an electrical contact pad of the packaging substrate, so that when an electronic element is bonded to the packaging substrate via a solder material in a flip-chip process, the conductive bump pad can guide the flow of the solder material. Therefore, the problem of empty soldering caused by the solder material not effectively contacting with the electrical contact pad can be avoided.
