US Patent 8110929 Semiconductor module

A semiconductor module includes: a substrate having a wiring layer; a first rectangular-shaped semiconductor device mounted on one surface of the substrate; a second rectangular-shaped semiconductor device mounted on the other surface of the substrate. The first semiconductor device is arranged such that each side thereof is not parallel to that of the second semiconductor device, and that the first semiconductor device is superimposed on the second semiconductor device, when seen from the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.
