For instance, the leveling process is used to remove a portion of the material of each of the conductive pillars 33 and a portion of the material of the packaging layer 31 by grinding.


As shown in FIG. 4B, the second routing structure 32 is formed on the second surface 31b of the packaging layer 31, and the plurality of conductive elements 34 such as solder balls are formed on the outermost second redistribution layer 321.

Hence, compared to the prior art, the electronic package 4 of the present disclosure can improve electrical performance via fast/short and low-loss vertical circuit conduction paths, thereby meeting the performance requirements of the end product.


In addition, the material of the packaging layer 31 can be selected according to the degree of warpage of the stacking component 2c, so that the warpage pattern of the packaging layer 31 after removing the carrier 40 can be mutually eliminated with the stacking component 2c, so as to improve the yield of the electronic package 4 being subsequently disposed onto the electronic device.
