  • Patent number: 9105503
    Abstract: A package-on-package device includes memory chips side-by-side on a package substrate. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a thickness of a semiconductor package. Further, data and command pads of a logic chip may be located to be adjacent to data and command pads of the memory chips. Accordingly, a routing distance between pads can be contracted and thus signal delivery speed can be improved. This makes it possible to improve an operation speed of the device.
