Patent number: 7804176Abstract: This invention is to provide a nonvolatile memory device that enhances a size reduction and mass productivity while ensuring reliability and signal transmission performance. A nonvolatile memory chip having a first side formed with no pads and a second side formed with pads is mounted on a mounting substrate. A control chip for controlling the nonvolatile memory chip is mounted on the nonvolatile memory chip. The control chip has a first pad row corresponding to the pads of the nonvolatile memory chip. The first pad row is mounted adjacent to the first side of the nonvolatile memory chip. The first pad row of the control chip and a first electrode row formed on the mounting substrate are connected via a first wire group. The pads of the nonvolatile memory chip and a second electrode row formed on the mounting substrate are connected via a second wire group. The first electrode row and the second electrode row are connected through wirings formed in the mounting substrate.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Kazuko Hanawa, Takashi Kikuchi, Koichi Kanemoto, Michiaki Sugiyama, Chikako Imura

Patent number: 7332800Abstract: For high density packaging of a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device has a multi-layer substrate, a first-stage chip connected electrically to the multi-layer substrate, other package substrates stacked in three stages on the multi-layer substrate and each connected to an underlying wiring substrate through solder balls, second-, third- and fourth-stage chips electrically connected respectively to the other package substrates, and solder balls provided on the bottom multi-layer substrate. The number of wiring layers in the bottom multi-layer substrate which has a logic chip is larger than that in the package substrates which have memory chips, whereby the semiconductor device can have a wiring layer not used for distribution of wires to the solder balls and wiring lines in the wiring layer can be used for the mounting of another semiconductor element or a passive component to attain high density packaging of the semiconductor device as a stacked type package.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Takashi Kikuchi, Ryosuke Kimoto, Hiroshi Kawakubo, Takashi Miwa, Chikako Imura, Takafumi Nishita, Hiroshi Koyama, Masanori Shibamoto, Masaru Kawakami
