Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first die pad, a first semiconductor chip provided on the first die pad, a second die pad, a second semiconductor chip provided on the second die pad, and a sealing resin made of a first resin material, sealing the first die pad, the first semiconductor chip, the second die pad and the second semiconductor chip. A lower surface of the first semiconductor chip is connected to the first die pad. A first portion of a lower surface of the second semiconductor chip is connected to the second die pad, and a second portion not connected to the second die pad of the lower surface of the second semiconductor chip is connected to an upper surface of the first semiconductor chip via a second resin material different from the first resin material.

Claims (22)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first die pad;

a first semiconductor chip provided on the first die pad;

a second die pad;

a second semiconductor chip provided on the second die pad; and

a sealing resin made of a first resin material, sealing the first die pad, the first semiconductor chip, the second die pad and the second semiconductor chip,

wherein a lower surface of the first semiconductor chip is connected to the first die pad, and

a first portion of a lower surface of the second semiconductor chip is connected to the second die pad, and a second portion not connected to the second die pad of the lower surface of the second semiconductor chip is connected to an upper surface of the first semiconductor chip via a second resin material different from the first resin material.

2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein

the first and second die pads are electrically isolated from each other, and

the first and second die pads are provided at positions different from each other in a vertical direction.

3. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein

one of the first and second die pads is grounded.

4. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein

a thermal conductivity of the second resin material is lower than a thermal conductivity of the first resin material.

5. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein

the lower surface of the first die pad is exposed from the sealing resin.

6. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein

the first semiconductor chip has a high heat generation circuit region having a relatively high amount of heat generated during a circuit operation and a low heat generation circuit region having a relatively low amount of heat generated during the circuit operation, and

there is space between a region contacting the second resin material of the first semiconductor chip, and the high heat generation circuit region.

7. The semiconductor device of claim 6 , wherein

a length of the space is larger than or equal to a thickness of the first semiconductor chip.
