The present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a carrier, a first redistribution layer (RDL) over the carrier, a semiconductor die over the first RDL, an adhesive layer between the semiconductor die and the first RDL, and a molding compound encapsulating the first RDL, the semiconductor die, and the adhesive layer. The first RDL includes at least one pattern electrically isolated from any component of the semiconductor structure. The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure discussed herein. The method includes forming an RDL on a carrier, defining an active portion and a dummy portion of the RDL, and placing a semiconductor die over the dummy portion of the RDL.
