  • Publication number: 20090321957
    Abstract: A layered chip package includes: a main body including a plurality of layer portions; wiring disposed on a side surface of the main body; a plurality of first terminals disposed on a top surface of the main body; and a plurality of second terminals disposed on a bottom surface of the main body. Each layer portion includes a semiconductor chip, an insulating portion covering at least one side surface of the semiconductor chip, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the semiconductor chip. Each electrode has an end face surrounded by the insulating portion and located at the side surface of the main body on which the wiring is disposed. The wiring is connected to the end faces of the plurality of electrodes of the plurality of layer portions, and to the plurality of first and second terminals.

Each layer portion includes a semiconductor chip, an insulating portion covering at least one side surface of the semiconductor chip, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the semiconductor chip. The insulating portion has an end face located at the side surface of the main body on which the wiring is disposed. Each electrode has an end face surrounded by the insulating portion and located at the side surface of the main body on which the wiring is disposed. To manufacture the layered chip package, a layered chip package substructure is fabricated by: processing a semiconductor wafer to form a plurality of pre-semiconductor-chip portions aligned; forming at least one groove extending to be adjacent to at least one of the pre-semiconductor-chip portions; forming an insulating layer to fill the groove; and forming the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7557439
    Abstract: A layered chip package includes a main body, and wiring disposed on a side surface of the main body. The main body includes a plurality of first-type layer portions each including a first-type semiconductor chip; and a second-type layer portion including a second-type semiconductor chip. The first-type semiconductor chip includes a plurality of memory cells. The second-type semiconductor chip includes a control circuit that controls writing and reading on and from the memory cells included in the plurality of first-type layer portions. Each layer portion includes an insulating portion covering at least one side surface of the semiconductor chip, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the semiconductor chip. Each of the electrodes has an end face that is located at the side surface of the main body and connected to the wiring.
