Patent number: 6617196Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of improving the flexibility of designing electrical lead patterns for connection from chips via a substrate to external terminals by appropriately arranging the substrate structure and layout of more than one address signal as commonly shared by four separate chips is disclosed. In a surface mount type package of ball grid array (BGA), four chips 1 are mounted on a substrate 2 in such a manner such these are laid out in the form of an array of two rows and two columns. These four chips 1 are such that regarding the upper side and lower side, these are in linear symmetry with respect to a center line extending in a direction along long side edges of the substrate 2.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Akita Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akihiko Iwaya, Toshio Sugano, Susumu Hatano, Yutaka Kagaya, Masachika Masuda
