Patent ID: 8294281

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a supporting substrate; a stack of semiconductor chips mounted over the supporting substrate such that said supporting substrate is electrically insulated from the stack of semiconductor chips; a circuit board over the stack of semiconductor chips, the stack of semiconductor chips being disposed between the supporting substrate and the circuit board; a first sealing member that seals the stack of semiconductor chips; and a second sealing member that covers the first sealing member, the second sealing member covering a side edge of the supporting substrate, wherein the first sealing member covers the side edges of the semiconductor chips of the stack of semiconductor chips such that a top surface of the first sealing member covering the semiconductor chip side edges forms an inclined surface relative to an outer edge of a top surface of the supporting substrate, said first sealing material thereby forming a fillet shape on said outer edge of the top surface of the supporting substrate adjacent to said side edges of the semiconductor chips.
