Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip mounted on a wiring substrate and a method of manufacturing the same. 
     Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-166390, filed Jun. 25, 2008, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Conventionally, a BGA (Ball Grid Array)-type semiconductor device includes: a wiring substrate, on a top surface of which multiple connection pads are provided, and a bottom surface of which multiple lands are provided to be electrically connected to the connection pads; a semiconductor chip provided on the top surface of the wiring substrate; wires electrically connecting electrode pads provided on the semiconductor chip and the connection pads provided on the wiring substrate; a seal which is made of insulating resin and covers at least the semiconductor chip and the wires; and external terminals provided on the lands. 
     However, there has been a problem of warpage of a semiconductor device due to the difference in values of thermal expansion coefficients between a wiring substrate and a seal resin. Consequently, solder balls are not correctly connected upon a secondary mounting of the semiconductor device onto a motherboard. 
     Additionally, a BGA-type semiconductor device to be used for a PoP (Package on Package) cannot be electrically connected to another semiconductor device to be stacked when the semiconductor device and the other semiconductor device warp in the opposite directions. 
     Further, the difference in values of thermal expansion coefficients between the wiring substrate and the semiconductor chip causes stress to be applied onto a periphery of the semiconductor chip, and especially onto four corners thereof. Thereby, solder balls provided under the four corners crack, degrading the reliability of secondary mounting of the semiconductor device. 
     Such a semiconductor device is manufactured using MAP (Mold Array Process) and includes multiple wiring substrates and a seal collectively covering the substrates, causing the problem of warpage. 
     For example, Japanese Patent, Laid-Open Publication Nos. 2006-269861, 2007-66932, and 2006-286829 are related art for preventing warpage of a semiconductor device. 
     Japanese Patent, Laid-Open Publication Nos. 2006-269861 and 2007-66932 disclose a semiconductor device including a lower substrate (wiring substrate), semiconductor chips provided above the lower substrate, a seal covering the semiconductor chips, and an upper board provided over the seal and the semiconductor chips. A thermal expansion coefficient of the upper board is substantially the same as that of the lower substrate. 
     Japanese Patent, Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-286829 discloses a semiconductor device including a first resin that covers a semiconductor chip mounted on a wiring substrate and prevents deformation of bonding wires or corrosion of connections between the semiconductor chip and the bonding wires, and a second resin (seal) that is provided over the wiring substrate and the first resin to prevent warpage of the wiring substrate. 
     In any of the related art, the upper board or the resin layer having substantially the same thermal expansion coefficient as that of the wiring substrate is provided over the seal covering the semiconductor chip mounted on the wiring substrate, thereby preventing warpage of the semiconductor device caused by the difference in values of thermal expansion coefficients between the wiring substrate and the seal. 
     However, any of the related art are silent about warpage of the semiconductor device and stress applied to the four corner of the semiconductor device which are caused by the difference in values of thermal expansion coefficients between the wiring substrate and the semiconductor chip. Therefore, solder balls provided around a periphery of the semiconductor chip, especially around the four corners thereof crack. 
     Additionally, the upper board or the resin layer for preventing warpage is provided over the seal covering the semiconductor chip, resulting in variation in thickness of the seal. Thereby, the semiconductor chip might be warped due to the variation. 
     Warpage of one semiconductor device causes a more significant problem of warpage of multiple stacked semiconductor devices having the PoP structure. Additionally, the problem is more significant as the size of the wiring substrate increases. 
     SUMMARY 
     In one embodiment, there is provided a semiconductor device including: a substrate; a semiconductor chip; a first insulation; and a second insulation. The substrate has at least a first region and a second region. The semiconductor chip structure covers the first region. The first insulation covers the second region. The first insulation has a first thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the semiconductor chip structure. The second insulation covers the semiconductor chip structure and the first insulation so that the semiconductor chip structure and the first insulation are sandwiched between the substrate and the second insulation. The second insulation has a second thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the substrate. 
     In another embodiment, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including the following processes. A first insulation covering a second region of a substrate having at least a first region covered by a semiconductor chip structure and the second region is formed. The first insulation has a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the semiconductor chip structure. A second insulation covering the first insulation and the semiconductor chip structure is formed so that the first insulation and the semiconductor chip structure are sandwiched between the substrate and the second insulation. The second insulation has a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the substrate. 
     Accordingly, warpage of the semiconductor device due to the difference in values of thermal expansion coefficients between the semiconductor chip structure and the substrate and between the substrate and a seal including the first and second insulations can be prevented.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The invention will now be described herein with reference to illustrative embodiments. The accompanying drawings explain a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device in the embodiments, and the size, the thickness, and the like of each illustrated portion might be different from those of each portion of an actual semiconductor device. 
     Those skilled in the art will recognize that many alternative embodiments can be accomplished using the teachings of the present invention and that the invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated herein for explanatory purposes. 
     First Embodiment: 
       FIG. 1  is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor device  1  according to a first embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 2  is a plane view illustrating a bottom surface of the semiconductor device  1 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , the semiconductor device  1  schematically includes a wiring substrate  2 , a semiconductor chip  7 , wires  9 , and seals  10 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , the wiring substrate  2  is substantially rectangular when planarly viewed and made of, for example, glass epoxy resin having a thickness of approximately 0.25 mm. Given wirings are provided on the wiring substrate  2  and partially covered by an insulating film (not shown). The insulating film is, for example, a solder resist film and is deposited on both surfaces of the glass epoxy substrate. 
     Multiple connection pads  3  are provided for wirings on a surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  not covered by the insulating film. Multiple lands  4  are provided for wirings on a surface  2   b  of the wiring substrate  2  not covered by the insulating film. The connection pads  3  and the corresponding lands  4  are electrically connected through the wirings in the wiring substrate  2 . 
     Multiple solder balls  5 , which will be external terminals, are mounted on the respective lands  4  in a grid at a given interval as shown in  FIG. 2 . 
     A semiconductor chip  7  is fixed on substantially the center of the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  through a fixing member  6 , such as an insulating adhesive or DAF (Die Attached Film). For example, a logic circuit or a memory circuit is formed on the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 . 
     Multiple electrode pads  8  are provided on the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 . A passivation film (not shown) is provided on the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  to cover the circuit formation surface excluding the electrode pads  8 . 
     The electrode pads  8  are electrically connected to the respective connection pads  3  through conductive wires  9  made of, for example, Au or Cu. 
     A seal  10  is formed over the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  to cover the semiconductor chip  7  and the wires  9 . The seal  10  is made of thermosetting resin, such as epoxy resin, and includes two types of resins having different thermal expansion coefficients. 
     The resins having different thermal expansion coefficients can be obtained by, for example, the content of a filler being changed. Specifically, the thermal expansion coefficient decreases as the content of the filler increases. On the other hand, the thermal expansion coefficient increases as the content of the filler decreases. The filler includes, for example, a glass fiber. 
     The seal  10  includes a first resin (first insulating layer)  11  having a low thermal expansion coefficient and a second resin (second insulating layer)  12  having a high thermal expansion coefficient. 
     The first resin  11  is deposited over the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  excluding a region  2   c  on which the semiconductor chip  7  is mounted, and in contact with the side surfaces  7   c  of the semiconductor chip  7 . The second resin  12  is deposited over the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11 . 
     Thus, the seal including the first resin  11  having the low thermal expansion coefficient is formed on the side surfaces  7   c  of the semiconductor chip  7  and on the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  excluding the region  2   c  on which the semiconductor chip  7  is mounted. The thermal expansion coefficient of the first resin is in a given range which includes the terminal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor chip. The given range is determined so that the semiconductor device does not warp due to the difference in the values of the thermal expansion coefficients. 
     Specifically, the thermal expansion coefficient of the first resin is set to approximately 2×10 −4  to 4×10 −6 /° C., preferably to 3×10 −6 /° C. 3×10 −6 /° C. is an approximate value of the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon forming the semiconductor chip. 
     The second resin  12  having a high thermal expansion coefficient is formed on the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7   a  and the first resin  11 . The thermal expansion coefficient of the second resin is in a given range which includes the terminal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor chip. The given range is determined so that the semiconductor device does not warp due to the difference in the values of thermal expansion coefficients. 
     Specifically, the thermal expansion coefficient of the second resin  12  is set to approximately 12×10 −6  to 14×10 −6 /° C., preferably to 13×10 −6 /° C. 13×10 −6 /° C. is an approximate value of the thermal expansion coefficient of glass epoxy resin. 
     The second resin  12  may have a different thickness from that of the wiring substrate  2  as long as the thermal expansion of the second resin  12  is balanced with that of the wiring substrate  2 . 
     Thus, the first resin  11  made of a material having a low thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the semiconductor chip  7  is provided on the side surfaces  7   c  of the semiconductor chip  7  and the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2 . Additionally, the second resin  12  made of a material having a high thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the wiring substrate  2  is provided over the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 . Thereby, a balance of thermal expansion coefficients is improved, and warpage of the semiconductor device  1  can be prevented. 
     In other words, the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11  are sandwiched between the wiring substrate  2  and the second resin  12 . Additionally, the semiconductor chip  7  has substantially the same thermal expansion coefficient as that of the first resin  11 . Thereby, the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11  thermally expand or contract in an integrated manner. 
     Consequently, the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11  cause substantially the same degree of distortion to both the wiring substrate  2  and the second resin  12 , thereby preventing warpage of the entire semiconductor device  1 . 
     Since the first and second resins  11  and  12  are made of epoxy resin, adhesion of the first and second resins  11  and  12  increases, thereby preventing the first and second resins  11  and  12  from removing from each other. 
     Since the second resin  12  having a high thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the wiring substrate  2  is provided over the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 , a balance of upward and downward thermal expansion of the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11  can be enhanced. Thereby, warpage caused by the difference in the values of the thermal expansion coefficients between the semiconductor chip  7  and the wiring substrate  2  and between the seal  10  and the wiring substrate  2  can be reduced. 
     Further, the thickness of the first resin  11  becomes uniform, as is the thickness of the second resin  12 . Thereby, thermal expansion of the seal  10  is enhanced, and warpage caused by the difference in values of the thicknesses of resins can be reduced. 
     As a result of a reduction in warpage of the semiconductor device  1 , precision of the overall size of the semiconductor device  1  is enhanced, thereby enhancing the mounting precision. Additionally, a load is applied equally to each external terminal, and therefore connection strength is equalized, thereby enhancing the reliability of the mounting of the semiconductor device  1 . 
     When the semiconductor device  1  is used as PoP, the semiconductor device  1  can be stably connected to another semiconductor device regardless of the warpage of the other semiconductor device, as shown in  FIG. 3 . Further, warpage of the semiconductor device  1  is reduced, and therefore the number of semiconductor devices to be stacked can be increased, resulting in high density mounting. 
     Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device  1  according to the first embodiment is explained. 
       FIGS. 4A to 4E  are cross-sectional views indicative of a schematic process flow illustrating a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment. 
     A wiring motherboard  13  to be used in the first embodiment is subjected to MAP (Mold Array Process), and multiple element formation units  14  are arranged in a matrix. The wiring motherboard  13  will be diced into multiple pieces of the element formation units  14 . Then, each of the element formation units  14  will become the aforementioned wiring substrate  2  and have the same configuration as that of the wiring substrate  2 . 
     A frame  15  is provided surrounding the element formation units  14 . Holes (not shown) are provided at a given interval in the frame  15  for transportation and positioning. Boundaries among the element formation units  14  are dicing lines  16 . 
     Thus, the wiring motherboard  13  as shown in  FIG. 4A  is prepared. 
     Then, a bottom surface  7   b  of the semiconductor chip  7  is fixed on substantially the center of a surface of each element formation unit  14  through an insulating adhesive or DAF, as shown in  FIG. 4B . 
     Then, the electrode pads  8  provided on the surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  and the connection pads  3  provided on the element formation unit  14  are connected through conductive wires  9  made of, for example, Au. Specifically, one end of the wire  9  is melted into a ball shape by a wire-bonding apparatus (not shown), and then connected by ultrasonic thermocompression to the electrode pad  8  on the semiconductor chip  7 . Then, the wire  9  is made into a given loop shape, and the other end of the wire  9  is connected by ultrasonic thermocompression to the corresponding connection pad  3 . 
     Then, a sealing frame  17  is provided on the frame  15  on the wiring motherboard  13 . The frame  17  has a similar shape to that of the frame  15 , and has the same thickness as that of the semiconductor chip  7 . The frame  17  may have a thickness greater than that of the semiconductor chip  7  if an amount of potting is controlled. 
     The first resin  11  is provided around the semiconductor chip  7  using a potting apparatus  18 , such as a coating applicator, as shown in  FIG. 5B . The first resin  11  is, for example, an epoxy resin having a low thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to 2×10 −6  to 4×10 −6 /° C. Preferably, resin having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to 3×10 −6 /° C. which is a value of the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon forming the semiconductor chip is used. The frame  17  is used for blocking the sealing resin. 
     The first resin  11  is filled until the side surfaces  7   c  of the semiconductor chip  7  mounted on the wiring motherboard  13  are completely immersed into the first resin  11 , as shown in  FIG. 5C . Preferably, the first resin  11  has the same height as that of the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 , but may have a height approximately equal to that of the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 . 
     After the first resin  11  is filled up to the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7 , the first resin  11  is cured at, for example, 180° C. Then, the frame  17  is removed from the wiring motherboard  13 , and the wiring motherboard  13  with the first resin  11  formed around the semiconductor chips  7  is obtained. 
     Then, the wiring motherboard  13  is attached to a transfer mold apparatus including an upper mold  19  and a lower mold  20 , as shown in  FIG. 6A . The wiring motherboard  13  is compressed by the upper and lower molds  19 ,  20 , and thereby a cavity  21  having a given size and a gate  22  are formed on the side of a surface  13   a  of the wiring motherboard  13 . Since MAP is used in the first embodiment, the cavity  21  has a size so as to collectively cover the element formation units  14 . 
     Then, the second resin  12  is provided through the gate  22  into the cavity  21  formed by the upper and lower molds  19 ,  20  as shown in  FIG. 6B . The second resin  12  is, for example, a thermosetting epoxy resin having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to 12×10 6  to 14×10 −6 /° C., preferably equal to 13×10 −6 /° C. 13×10 −6 /° C. is a value of the thermal expansion coefficient of the wiring substrate  2  (glass epoxy resin in this case). 
     After the cavity  21  is filled with the second resin  12  as shown in  FIG. 6C , the second resin  12  is cured at a given temperature, such as approximately 180° C. Thereby, the second resin  12  is formed over the first resin  11  and the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  as shown in  FIG. 4C . 
     Thus, the seal  10  collectively covering the wiring motherboard  13  is formed using the first resin  11  having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the semiconductor chip  7  and the second resin  12  having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the glass epoxy substrate, thereby preventing warpage of the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Consequently, transportation troubles due to warpage of the wiring motherboard  13  can be reduced, thereby enhancing the manufacturing efficiency. Since the surrounding regions of the semiconductor chip  7  mounted on the wiring motherboard  13  are sealed by the first resin  11 , the wires  9  are fixed by the first resin  11 , thereby preventing the wires from flowing when the second resin  12  is provided. 
     Then, the conductive solder balls  5  are mounted on the respective lands  4  arranged in a matrix on the other surface  13   b  of the wiring motherboard  13 , and thereby external terminals are formed, as shown in  FIG. 4D . Specifically, the solder balls  5  are held by multiple suction holes included in a sucking apparatus  23 . Then, flux is applied to the held solder balls  5 , and then the solder balls  5  are collectively mounted on the respective lands  4  provided on the other surface  13   b  of the wiring motherboard  13 . After the solder balls  5  are mounted on all the element formation units  14 , the wiring motherboard  13  is reflowed to form bump electrodes which will be external terminals. 
     Warpage of the wiring motherboard  13  is reduced for the aforementioned reasons, and the solder balls  5  can be correctively mounted onto the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Then, the wiring motherboard  13  is diced along the dicing lines  16  into pieces of element formation units  14 , as shown in  FIG. 4E . In this case, the second resin  12  is fixed onto the dicing tape  24  to support the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Then, the wiring motherboard  13  is vertically and horizontally diced by a dicing blade  25  along the dicing lines  16  into pieces of element formation units  14 . After the dicing, each piece is picked up from the dicing tape  24 , thus the semiconductor device  1  as shown in  FIG. 1  is obtained. 
     As explained above, the semiconductor device  1  including the first resin  11  which is provided on the surface  2   a  of the wiring substrate  2  and made of a material having a low thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the semiconductor chip  7 , and the second resin  12  which is provided over the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  and the first resin  11  and made of a material having a high thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to that of the wiring substrate  2  can be efficiently manufactured. 
     Second Embodiment: 
       FIGS. 7A to 7E  are cross-sectional views indicative of a schematic process flow illustrating a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device according to a second embodiment. As shown in  FIG. 7B , processes from the process of preparing the wiring motherboard  13  to the process of connecting the electrode pads  8  on the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  and the connection pads  3  on the element formation unit  14  through the conductive wires  9  are the same as the first embodiment. 
     Then, in the second embodiment, the other surface  13   b  of the wiring motherboard  13  is fixed by suction onto an upper mold  26  included in a compression mold apparatus  26  as shown in  FIG. 8A . A lower mold  27  included in the compression mold apparatus has a cavity  21 ′, into which a given amount of second granular resin  12 ′ is provided through a film  28 . 
     The second resin  12 ′ has a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to 12×10 −6  to 14×10 −6 /° C., and preferably equal to 13×10 −6 /° C. 13×10 −6 /° C. is a value of the thermal expansion coefficient of the wiring substrate  2  (glass epoxy resin in this case). 
     Further, a given amount of the first granular resin  11 ′ is provided over the second granular resin  12 ′ in the cavity  21 ′. Similar to the first embodiment, a resin having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately equal to 2×10 −6  to 4×10 −6 /° C., preferably equal to 3×10 −6 /° C. is used as the first resin  11 ′. 3×10 −6 /° C. is a value of the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon forming the semiconductor chip  7 . 
     Then, the lower mold  27  is heated to a given temperature so that the first and second granular resin  11 ′,  12 ′ are melted to form two melted resin layers in the cavity  21 ′. 
     Then, the upper mold  26  is lowered so that the semiconductor chip  7  is immersed into the two melted resin layers. Then, the two melted resin layers are compressed by the upper and lower molds  26 ,  27  as shown in  FIG. 8C , thus the first and second resin  11 ,  12  are formed on the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     A height of the first resin  11  is adjusted such that the upper surface  7   a  of the semiconductor chip  7  provided on the wiring motherboard  13  generally matches the boundary between the first and second resin layers. 
     Thus, two different resin layers can simultaneously and efficiently be formed on the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Then, the conductive solder balls  5  are mounted on the respective lands  4  to form bump electrodes which will be external terminals as shown in  FIG. 7D , similarly to the first embodiment. 
     Then, the wiring motherboard  13  on which the solder balls  5  are mounted is diced along the dicing line  16  into pieces of the element formation units  14  as shown in  FIG. 7E , and the semiconductor device  1  as shown in  FIG. 1  is obtained. 
     Thus, the semiconductor device  1  whose warpage is reduced can be formed similarly to the first embodiment. 
     Additionally, the semiconductor chip  7  is immersed into the two melted resin layers having different thermal expansion coefficients, and then the resin layers are compressed to form the first and second resin  11 ,  12  on the wiring motherboard  13 . Thereby, the seal  10  can efficiently be formed by one sealing process. 
     Further, the first and second resin  11 ,  12  are formed by compression molding in the second embodiment. Thereby, injection of seal resin is unnecessary, and the distribution of fillers included in the seal becomes uniform. Since injection of seal resin is unnecessary, wires are prevented from flowing. 
     Moreover, when the first and second resin are simultaneously formed, the first and second sheet-like resins may be provided in the cavity so that two resin layers are more uniformly formed in the cavity than in the case of granular resin being provided. 
     Third Embodiment: 
       FIGS. 9A to 9C  are cross-sectional views illustrating a sealing process included in the method of manufacturing the semiconductor device according to a third embodiment. The third embodiment is a modification of the manufacturing method of the first embodiment. 
     In the third embodiment, a sealing frame  17 ′ is provided on the frame  15  on the wiring motherboard  13 . For example, the seal  17 ′ has the same shape as that of the frame  15  and has the same thickness as that of the semiconductor chip  7  mounted on the wiring motherboard  13 . An inner side surface of the frame  17 ′ is inclined such that the area of the upper surface of the frame  17 ′ is larger than that of the bottom surface of the frame  17 ′ in contact with the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Similar to the first embodiment, the first resin  11  is filled around the semiconductor chip  7  by potting with use of a coating applicator or the like until the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip  7  is immersed in the first resin  11 . In this case, the frame  17 ′ blocks the seal resin. 
     Then, the first resin  11  is cured at a given temperature, for example, 180° C. Then, the frame  17 ′ is removed from the wiring motherboard  13 , thus the wiring motherboard  13  with the first resin  11  formed around the semiconductor chip  7  is obtained. 
     Since the inner side surface of the frame  17 ′ is inclined in the third embodiment, the frame  17 ′ can easily be removed from the wiring motherboard  13 . 
     Then, the wiring motherboard  13  is attached to the transfer mold apparatus including the upper and lower molds  19 ,  20  such that a cavity  21 ″ is formed, as shown in  FIG. 9B . In this case, since a side surface of the first resin  11  on the wiring motherboard  13  is inclined, the inclined side faces the gate  22  of the transfer mold apparatus. 
     Then, the second resin  12  is provided into the cavity  22 ″ formed by the upper and lower molds  19 ,  20 . Since the first resin  11  has the inclined side facing the gate  22 , the second resin  12  can easily be provided over the first resin  11 . 
     After the cavity  21 ″ is filled with the second resin  12 , the second resin  12  is cured at a given temperature, for example, 180° C., and the second resin  12  is formed over the first resin  11  and the semiconductor chip  7  as shown in  FIG. 9C . 
     Then, the conductive solder balls  5  are mounted on the respective lands  4  to form bump electrodes which will be external terminals, similarly to the first embodiment. Then, the wiring motherboard  13  on which the solder balls  5  are mounted is diced along the dicing line  16  into pieces of the element formation units  14 , and the semiconductor device  1  as shown in  FIG. 1  is obtained. 
     Thus, the semiconductor device  1  whose warpage is reduced can be formed similarly to the first embodiment. 
     Fourth Embodiment: 
       FIG. 10  is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor device  1 ′ according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The fourth embodiment explains the case where the present invention is applied to MCP (Multi Chip Package) including multiple semiconductor chips  7 ′ mounted. 
     As shown in  FIG. 10 , in the semiconductor device  1 ′ including the semiconductor chips  7 ′ on the wiring substrate  2 , the first resin  11  is filled up to an upper surface  7   a ′ of the uppermost semiconductor chip. Then, the second resin  12  is formed over the first resin  11  and the uppermost semiconductor chip. 
     Consequently, a balance of thermal expansion coefficients in the MCP is enhanced regardless of a state of the stacked semiconductor chips  7 ′. 
     In the case of three or more semiconductor chips being stacked, the first resin  11  is filled up to the upper surface  7   a ′ of the uppermost semiconductor chip in a similar manner. 
     In the case of the uppermost semiconductor chip being used for flip chip connection, the first resin is filled up to a bottom surface  7   b ′ of the uppermost semiconductor chip. 
     It is apparent that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but may be modified and changed without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. 
     For example, although the wiring substrate made of a glass epoxy material is used in the embodiments, the present invention is applicable to a wiring substrate made of another material, such as a flexible substrate made of a polyamide material. 
     In the case of a flexible wiring substrate made of a polyamide material being used, a thermal expansion coefficient of the second resin is set to approximately 20×10 −6  to 25×10 −6 /° C. corresponding to that of polyamide resin. 
     Additionally, although the BGA-type semiconductor device is explained in the embodiments, the present invention is applicable to another semiconductor device, such as an LGA (Land Grid Array)-type semiconductor device. 
     The present invention is widely applicable to semiconductor manufacturing industries.
