Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:terminal electrodes; a lower semiconductor chip having opposed top and bottom surfaces, and side surfaces transverse to the top and bottom surfaces, said terminal electrodes being disposed opposite the side surfaces of said lower semiconductor chip; an upper semiconductor chip having top and bottom surfaces and stacked on said lower semiconductor chip along a first direction so that the bottom surface and the top surface of said lower and upper semiconductor chips are opposite each other; wires connecting said upper and lower semiconductor chips to said terminal electrodes; and an encapsulating resin encapsulating said upper and lower semiconductor chips, said wires, and parts of said terminal electrodes, wherein said encapsulating resin and said terminal electrodes have respective bottom surfaces coplanar with each other, and said terminal electrodes are entirely outside a region where said upper and lower semiconductor chips are located when viewed along the first direction.
