Abstract

In a semiconductor chip, a first semiconductor chip 21 is provided on a chip-mounting component 11 , and bonding wires 36 connected to electrode pads 21 E of the first semiconductor chip 21 are fixed by being covered with a first insulating adhesive 31 . A second semiconductor chip 22 is mounted by being stacked on the first semiconductor chip 21 , with the first insulating adhesive 31 therebetween. This structure can prevent problems such as breaking and short-circuits of bonding wires of the chip disposed directly on a substrate when another chip is mounted by being stacked.
