Abstract

One embodiment in accordance with the invention can include a semiconductor device that includes a first substrate, a projection portion that has a first semiconductor chip mounted on the first substrate, a second substrate that is provided on the first substrate and is electrically coupled to the first substrate, and a second semiconductor chip that is mounted on the second substrate. An opening portion is formed by the second substrate. The projection portion is arranged in the opening portion.

Claims (54)
