  • Patent number: 8659135
    Abstract: A semiconductor stack and a semiconductor base device with a wiring substrate and an intermediate wiring board for a semiconductor device stack is disclosed. In one embodiment, a semiconductor chip is arranged between the intermediate wiring board and the wiring substrate, which is electrically connected by way of the wiring substrate on the one hand to external contacts on the underside of the wiring substrate and on the other hand to contact terminal areas in the edge regions of the wiring substrate. The intermediate wiring board has angled-away external flat conductors, which are electrically connected in the contact terminal areas of the wiring board. Furthermore, on the upper side of the intermediate wiring board, arranged on the free ends of the internal flat conductors are external contact terminal areas, which correspond in size and arrangement to external contacts of a semiconductor device to be stacked.

  • Patent number: 7755178
    Abstract: A base semiconductor component for a semiconductor component stack is disclosed. In one embodiment, the base semiconductor component has a semiconductor chip arranged centrally on a stiff wiring substrate. The wiring substrate has, in its edge regions, contact pads which are electrically connected to external contacts and at the same time to contact areas of the semiconductor chip and also to stack contact areas. The stack contact areas simultaneously form the upper side of the base semiconductor component and have an arrangement pattern corresponding to an arrangement pattern of external contacts of a semiconductor component to be stacked.
