Abstract

In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first chip and a second chip. The first chip includes a first substrate, a control circuit provided on the first substrate, and a first pad provided above the control circuit and electrically connected to the control circuit. The second chip includes a second pad provided on the first pad, a plug provided above the second pad, extending in a first direction, and including a portion that decreases in diameter in a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction with increasing distance from the first substrate, and a bonding pad provided on the plug, intersecting with the first direction, and electrically connected to the second pad by the plug.

Claims (34)

1. A semiconductor device comprising a first chip and a second chip, wherein

the first chip comprises:

a first substrate;

a control circuit provided on the first substrate;

a first pad provided above the control circuit and electrically connected to the control circuit; and

a third pad provided above the control circuit and electrically connected to the control circuit, and

the second chip comprises:

a second pad provided on the first pad;

a plug provided above the second pad, extending in a first direction, and including a portion that decreases in diameter in a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction with increasing distance from the first substrate;

a bonding pad provided on the plus, intersecting with the first direction, and electrically connected to the second pad by the plug;

a fourth pad provided on the third pad; and

a memory cell array electrically connected to the fourth pad.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the second chip further includes an insulator provided on the bonding pad, and

the insulator includes an opening to expose an upper face of the bonding pad.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the opening is provided at a position where the opening overlaps with the plug in the first direction.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein

a memory cell array in the second chip includes a plurality of electrode layers stacked separately from one another in the first direction,

an end portion of the plug on a side of the first chip is provided at a position lower than a lower face of a lowermost one of the plurality of electrode layers, and

an end portion of the plug on a side opposite to the first chip is provided at a position higher than an upper face of an uppermost one of the plurality of electrode layers.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plug has a tapered side face.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second chip comprises a plurality of plugs between the second pad and the bonding pad.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding pad is provided on the plug via no substrate.

8. A semiconductor device comprising a first chip and a second chip, wherein

the first chip comprises:

a first substrate;

a control circuit provided on the first substrate; and

a first pad provided above the control circuit and electrically connected to the control circuit, and

the second chip comprises:

a second pad provided on the first pad;

a plug provided above the second pad, extending in a first direction, and including a portion that decreases in diameter in a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction with increasing distance from the first substrate;

a bonding pad provided on the plug, intersecting with the first direction, and electrically connected to the second pad by the plug; and

an insulator provided on the bonding pad and including an opening to expose an upper face of the bonding pad, the opening being provided at a position where the opening does not overlap with the plug in the first direction.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the opening is provided at a position where the opening overlaps with a memory cell array inside the second chip in the first direction.
