Patent number: 7554183Abstract: A semiconductor device having a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on lead frames is miniaturized by reducing its planar size and thickness. By disposing a rear surface of a first island and a top surface of a second island so as to at least partially overlap each other, a first semiconductor chip on the first island and a second semiconductor chip on a rear surface of the second island are configured so as to overlap each other. Accordingly, a planar occupied area can be set smaller than planar areas of both of the chips. Moreover, thin metal wires to be connected to the second semiconductor chip are extended to a back side. Consequently, a thickness of a semiconductor device can also be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideyuki Inotsume, Hirokazu Fukuda

Patent number: 7030501Abstract: A conventional one-chip dual MOSFET has a structure in which two chips are arranged side by side and drain electrodes are short-circuited. Therefore, the mounting area thereof is large, and the resistance between the drain electrodes cannot be reduced. Accordingly, there is a limit of reduction in size and thickness of a semiconductor device, which is demanded by the market. A dual MOSFET of the embodiment includes two semiconductor chips (MOSFET) superimposed on each other with drain electrodes thereof directly connected to each other. In the dual MOSFET, the drain electrodes do not need to be led to the outside, and only two gate terminals and two source terminals are used. Accordingly, these four terminals are led out by means of a lead frame or conductive patterns. This allows the device to be reduced in size and to have lower on-resistance.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignees: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Kanto Sanyo Semiconductors Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeharu Yoshiba, Hirokazu Fukuda, Haruhiko Sakai
