Abstract: 본 발명은 돌기 및 홈이 형성된 금속 부재를 이용한 적층 패키지에 관한 것으로, 종래기술에 따른 적층 패키지의 경우, 솔더 볼을 이용하여 단위 패키지들을 조립하기 때문에, 단위 패키지에 작용하는 열적 스트레스로 인하여 휨이 발생하여 단위 패키지들 간의 접합성이 감소하며, 솔더 볼 피치의 감소와 크기의 소형화로 인하여 솔더 볼의 높이가 반도체 칩의 높이보다 낮거나 이웃한 솔더 볼 사이에 쇼트가 발생하는 문제가 발생되었다. 본 발명은 상기한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 피적층 단위 패키지의 배선 기판 상부면에 형성된 제 1 금속 부재와 적층 단위 패키지의 배선 기판 하부면에 형성된 제 2 금속 부재가 결합하여 조립되는 돌기 및 홈이 형성된 금속 부재를 이용한 적층 패키지를 제공한다. 본 발명에 따르면, 용융시키는 방법이 아닌 밀어 넣는 방법으로 금속 부재들을 결합하기 때문에, 단위 패키지에 작용하는 열적 스트레스를 감소시켜 단위 패키지들 간의 양호한 접합성을 확보하고, 결합된 금속 부재의 높이를 반도체 칩의 높이보다 높게 형성하여 적층 패키지를 구현하는 것이 가능해지며, 결합된 금속 부재의 폭을 좁게 형성하여 이웃한 금속 부재들 사이에 쇼트가 발생하는 것을 방지할 수 있다.
