Abstract: One aspect is a composite board including semiconductor chips in semiconductor device positions and a plastic housing composition partly embedding the semiconductor chips. A mould is provided for surrounding the semiconductor chips with plastic housing composition, the mould having a lower part and an upper part and a moldings cavity and the molding cavity having an upper contact area, which forms an interface with the top side of the plastic housing composition to be applied. The upper contact area is covered with a parting layer having essentially the same surface constitution and the same thermal conductivity as an adhesive film forming an interface with the underside of the plastic housing composition, with the result that a warpage of the composite board of less than 1% is obtained.

Abstract: A stack of semiconductor chips includes a substrate or an interposer board comprising conductor structures for electrical connection of the stack and a first chip. The first chip includes an active side with peripherally arranged bonding pads and is mounted face-up on the substrate or the interposer board. The stack beyond includes at least a further chip with peripherally arranged bonding pads on its active side. The back side and at least two chip edges of the further chip are embedded by a mold cap providing a protuberance on the back side of the chip. The protuberance forms a planar surface extending substantially parallel and with a distance to the back side of the chip. The further chip is attached face-up to the active side of the first chip by an adhesive applied between the protuberance and the first chip so that the protuberance is inserted between both chips to provide a gap there. The protuberance has at least one linear dimension that is smaller than a linear dimension of the subjacent chip.
