    Abstract: Semiconductor packages may include a semiconductor chip on a substrate and an under-fill layer between the semiconductor chip and the substrate. The semiconductor chip may include a semiconductor substrate including first and second regions, and an interlayer dielectric layer that may cover the semiconductor substrate and may include connection lines. First conductive pads may be on the first region and may be electrically connected to some of the connection lines. Second conductive pads may be on the second region and may be electrically isolated from all of the connection lines. The semiconductor chip may also include a passivation layer that may cover the interlayer dielectric layer and may include holes that may expose the first and second conductive pads, respectively. On the second region, the under-fill layer may include a portion that may be in one of the first holes and contact one of the second conductive pads.
