Abstract

A stacked semiconductor package is presented which includes multiple semiconductor chips and through-electrodes. Each semiconductor chip has bonding pads formed on a first surface of the semiconductor chip and has a projection which projects from a portion of a second surface of the semiconductor chip. The first and second surfaces of the semiconductor chip face away from each other the first surface. The through-electrodes pass through the first surface and through the projection on the second surface.

Claims (26)

through-electrodes passing through the first surface and the projection on the second surface, and passing through the reinforcing layer; and

guide members placed on the second surface of the semiconductor chip.

2. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is disposed along a middle portion of the second surface and has a rectangular shape, and wherein the projection and the semiconductor chip are integrally formed with each other.

3. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of projections is disposed in a matrix pattern on the second surface, wherein the projections and the semiconductor chip are integrally formed with each other.

4. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing layer comprises any one of a non-conductive adhesive (NCA), a non-conductive film (NCF) or a non-conductive polymer (NCP).

5. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing layer comprises an anisotropic conductive film (ACF).

6. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein the guide members are placed parallel to one of a short side or a long side of the semiconductor chip.

8. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein at least two through-electrodes pass through the semiconductor chip in correspondence to the projection.

9. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , further comprising bumps and pads placed on ends of the through-electrodes which correspond to the projection.

10. The semiconductor package according to claim 9 , wherein the bumps and pads are formed of any one selected from the group consisting of solder, gold, copper and aluminum.

11. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein at least two semiconductor chips are stacked together such that a first surface of a first semiconductor chip and a second surface of a second semiconductor chip are disposed facing each other.

12.
