  • Publication number: 20080067667
    Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device (1) comprising a semiconductor chip stack (2) and a plastic housing (3), and to methods for producing the semiconductor device (1). The semiconductor device (1) is constructed on a device carrier (4), on which a first semiconductor chip (5) is fixed by its rear side (6). At least one second semiconductor chip (8) is adhesively bonded by its rear side (9) on the top side (7) of the first semiconductor chip (5) by means of an adhesive layer (10). A second plastic composition (17) is arranged between a first plastic housing composition (11) of the plastic housing (3) and the edge sides (12, 13) of the adhesive layer and the edge sides (14, 15) of the second semiconductor chip (8) and also the top side (16) of the second semiconductor chip (8) in such a way that the first plastic housing composition (11) has no physical contact with the second semiconductor chip (8) and with the adhesive layer (10).
