Abstract

A semiconductor device according to embodiments may include an interposer, a plurality of devices stacked on the interposer, a cooling device provided in at least one of the devices and including a passage for a cooling material, and a connection electrode provided between the devices, in which the connection electrode connects a signal electrode in an upper device to a signal electrode in a lower device.

Claims (15)

1. A method, comprising:

forming a plurality of devices, at least one device comprising a cooling device having a passage for a cooling material; and

stacking the plurality of devices over an interposer,

wherein said stacking the plurality of devices comprises:

forming signal electrodes in each of the plurality of devices;

forming a connection layer between each of the plurality of devices;

forming a connection electrode in each connection layer; and

connecting signal electrodes formed in upper and lower devices to each other through the connection electrode provided in the connection layer between the upper and lower devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the at least one device having the cooling device comprises:

forming a protection layer in an upper-most portion of the at least one device equipped with the cooling device; and

forming the cooling device in the protection layer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the plurality of devices comprises forming through electrodes in each of the plurality of devices, the through electrodes passing through the respective devices.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each through electrode comprises at least one of tungsten (W), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), and gold (Au).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cooling material comprises at least one of a low-temperature gas and a low-temperature liquid.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each device comprises one of a central processing unit (CPU), a static random access memory (SRAM), a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a flash memory, a logic large scale integrated circuit (LSI), a power integrated circuit (IC), a control integrated circuit (IC), an analog large scale integrated circuit (LSI), a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MM IC), a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor radio-frequency integrated circuit (CMOS RE-IC), a sensor chip, and a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) chip.
