Abstract
A method of forming a redistribution structure includes providing a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form a plurality of via openings. A seed layer is formed on the dielectric layer and filling in the plurality of via openings. A patterned conductive layer is formed a on the seed layer, wherein a portion of the seed layer is exposed by the patterned conductive layer. The portion of the seed layer is removed by using an etching solution, thereby forming a plurality of conductive lines and a plurality of vias. During the removing the portion of the seed layer, an etch rate of the patterned conductive layer is less than an etch rate of the seed layer.
