A semiconductor package includes a substrate having an insulation layer. The insulation layer has a first region having a first surface roughness and a second region having a second surface roughness. A semiconductor chip is mounted in the first region, and an underfill resin solution is filled into the space between the semiconductor chip and the insulation layer. The roughness of the second region prevents the underfill resin from flowing out from the semiconductor chip to thereby reduce a size of the semiconductor package.
