  • Patent number: 6798071
    Abstract: In a semiconductor IC device, a first IC chip having a plurality of first electrodes and a second IC chip having a plurality of second electrodes are stacked. A plurality of relay electrodes are provided on the first IC chip. The first electrodes are electrically connected to a lead frame via respective first conductive wires. One end of each of the relay electrodes is electrically connected to the respective second electrodes via respective second conductive wires and the other end of each of the relay electrodes is connected the lead frame via third conductive wires. No one of the second conductive wires crosses another one of the other second conductive wires and no one of the third conductive wires crosses another one of the third second conductive wires.
    Type: Grant
