Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device includes the following processes. A first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip are stacked to form a stacked structure. A gap between the first and second semiconductor chips of the stacked structure is filled with a filler. A temperature of the stacked first and second semiconductor chips is kept more than room temperature from the stacking to the filing.
