Semiconductor substrate including first and second conductive posts and a plurality of first and second circuit layer pads

Abstract

A semiconductor substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor substrate includes a dielectric layer, a circuit layer, a first protection layer and a plurality of conductive posts. The dielectric layer has a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other. The circuit layer is embedded in the dielectric layer and is exposed from the first surface. The first protection layer covers a portion of the first circuit layer and defines a plurality of holes that expose a remaining portion of the first circuit layer. The conductive posts are formed in the holes.
