  • Patent number: 8143710
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-chip package in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are mounted on a single package using a chip-on-chip technique reduces warping due to a difference in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) between a printed circuit board (PCB) and a stacked semiconductor chip. A package on package is manufactured by vertically stacking packages to operate a memory semiconductor chip package and a logic semiconductor chip package in a single system. To improve a non-wet defect of solder balls used to connect packages and minimize the mounting height of the package on package, a protection member formed of an epoxy mold compound (EMC) is formed on the memory semiconductor chip package to only partially expose the solder balls, and the exposed portions of the solder balls are connected to vias formed in a rear surface of the logic semiconductor chip package using a solder ball attaching process.
