Patent ID: 8169073

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a plurality of semiconductor chips; and a substrate having an external connection terminal electrically connected to said plurality of semiconductor chips, the external connection terminal having a connection portion, wherein the external connection terminal is disposed on a side of the substrate to which the plurality of semiconductor chips are connected such that the external connection terminal is spaced from the semiconductor chips along the substrate so as to be disposed between the semiconductor chips and a peripheral edge of the substrate, and wherein the external connection terminal protrudes beyond said plurality of semiconductor chips, wherein an under fill resin is disposed between the plurality of semiconductor chips and the substrate, the under fill resin extending from the semiconductor chips to an under fill resin peripheral end disposed beyond the external connection terminal such that the under fill resin peripheral end is disposed between the external connection terminal and the peripheral edge of the substrate, wherein a covered part of the external connection terminal is covered with the under fill resin, and wherein an exposed part of the external connection terminal projects from the under fill resin so as to be exposed from the under fill resin, wherein the exposed part of the external connection terminal includes the connection portion of the external connection terminal, wherein each of the plurality of semiconductor chips includes a first chip surface, which is opposite a second chip surface that is mounted on the substrate, that is exposed from the under fill resin, wherein the under fill resin peripheral end is positioned such that a portion of the side of the substrate to which the plurality of semiconductor chips are connected between the external connection terminal and the peripheral edge of the substrate is exposed through the under fill resin.
