Claim:
1. A package-on-package (PoP)-type package, the package comprising: a first semiconductor package comprising a first passive element, an arbitrary passive element and a first semiconductor device adjacent one another on a first surface of a first substrate; and a second semiconductor package comprising a second semiconductor device on a second substrate, wherein the first semiconductor package is disposed on a top surface of the second semiconductor package; wherein the first passive element is directly electrically connected to the second semiconductor device, the arbitrary passive element is directly electrically connected to both the first semiconductor device in the first semiconductor package and the second semiconductor device in the second semiconductor package, the first passive element is electrically connected to the second semiconductor device by only one or more conductive interconnections and/or one or more conductive terminals between the first passive element and the second semiconductor device, the first passive element is not directly electrically connected to the first semiconductor device in the first semiconductor package, the first semiconductor device is a memory device, and the second semiconductor device is a controller chip that is configured to control the memory device.
