Abstract: A carrier for a stacked type semiconductor device includes a lower carrier having a first accommodating portion that accommodates a first semiconductor device, and an upper carrier having a second accommodating portion that accommodates a second semiconductor device stacked on the first semiconductor device so as to be placed in position on the first semiconductor device. It is thus possible to eliminate an additional device used for stacking the semiconductor device, and thereby reduce the cost.

Abstract: A carrier for a stacked-type semiconductor device includes an accommodating section for accommodating stacked semiconductor devices, guide portions guiding the stacked semiconductor devices, and grooves through which a fluid may flow to the accommodating section and to sides of the stacked semiconductor devices. These grooves facilitate the flow of gas or liquid on the sides of the accommodating sections, and it is thus expected that the flow of hot wind during the reflow process and cleaning liquid during the cleaning process can be facilitated. This improves the production yield and the cleaning effects. Holes for connecting the accommodating section to the outside may be provided at corners of the accommodating section. Gas may be guided from the lower side of the accommodating section, so that heat can be efficiently applied to the semiconductor devices and bonding failures therebetween can be reduced.

Abstract: A stacked type semiconductor device includes semiconductor devices, interposers by which the semiconductor devices are stacked, the interposers having electrodes provided on sides thereof, and a connection substrate connecting the electrodes together. The electrodes provided on the sides of the interposers may be connected to the connection substrate by one of an electrically conductive adhesive or an anisotropically conductive film.

Abstract: A carrier structure for fabricating a stacked-type semiconductor device includes: a lower carrier that has laminated thin plates and has first openings for mounting first semiconductor packages thereon; and an upper carrier having second openings for mounting second semiconductor packages on the first semiconductor packages. The lower carrier composed of the laminated thin plates realizes an even plate thickness and reduces warps because stress is distributed to the thin plates. This results in an improved production yield. A pattern of the openings in the thin plates of the lower carrier may be formed by etching or electric discharging. The openings thus formed have reduced warps and burrs.
