A fabrication method of a packaging substrate includes the steps of: forming a recess by etching a predetermined area of a lower surface of a substrate; depositing a seed layer on an upper surface of the substrate; in the recess, etching predetermined area(s) of the lower surface of the substrate and forming at least one via hole that reaches the seed layer; and plating the inside of the via hole by using the seed layer, and forming electrode(s) for electrically coupling the upper and lower parts of the substrate. First and second pads coupled to the electrode(s) may be formed on the upper and lower parts of the substrate, respectively. Thus, using the second pads as bonding materials, the packaging process becomes easier, which resultantly simplifies the fabrication process of the packaging substrate and the packaging process.
