Abstract

A stacked chip semiconductor device including: a substrate having electrode pads; a first semiconductor chip that is flip-chip-packaged on the substrate via a first adhesive layer; a second semiconductor chip that is mounted on an upper part of the first semiconductor chip and that has electrode pads; wires for electrically connecting the electrode pads of the second semiconductor chip and the electrode pads of the substrate; and a molded resin for encapsulating the first semiconductor chip, the second semiconductor chip and the wires, the first adhesive layer forming a fillet at the periphery of the first semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip is disposed with its central axis being offset from a central axis of the substrate, the offset being provided so that the first semiconductor chip is shifted toward a side opposite to a side where the fillet has a maximum length from the periphery of the first semiconductor chip. Thereby, influences of the fillet made of the adhesive are suppressed, allowing miniaturization of the device and improvement in the mass-productivity.

Claims (3)

1. A stacked chip semiconductor device comprising: a substrate having electrode pads; a first semiconductor chip that is flip-chip-packaged on the substrate via a first adhesive layer; a second semiconductor chip that is mounted on an upper part of the first semiconductor chip and that has electrode pads; wires for electrically connecting the electrode pads of the second semiconductor chip and the electrode pads of the substrate; and a molded resin for encapsulating the first semiconductor chip, the second semiconductor chip and the wires, the first adhesive layer forming a fillet at the periphery of the first semiconductor chip, wherein

the first semiconductor chip is disposed with its central axis being offset from a central axis of the substrate, the offset being provided so that the first semiconductor chip is shifted toward a side opposite to a side where the fillet has a maximum length from the periphery of the first semiconductor chip.

2. The stacked chip semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the second semiconductor chip is mounted substantially at the center of the substrate.
