US Patent 7952181 Wiring substrate for a multi-chip semiconductor device

An interposer has an opening in the central portion. A plurality of first electrode terminals are formed on the front surface near the opening of the interposer, a plurality of second electrode terminals are formed on the front surface of the peripheral portion thereof and corresponding ones of the plurality of first and second electrode terminals are electrically connected to one another via a plurality of wirings. A plurality of bump electrodes is formed on the front surface of a child chip. A plurality of bump electrodes containing a plurality of bump electrodes for connection with the exterior are formed on the front surface of a parent chip. The front surfaces of the parent chip and child chip are set to face each other with the interposer disposed therebetween and the bump electrodes are electrically connected to one another in the opening of the interposer.
