Patent ID: 8878360

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a base layer having a first semiconductor chip, the first semiconductor chip having at least one electrically conductive contact at a first side of the first semiconductor chip, wherein the first semiconductor chip is attached directly to the base layer; a first redistribution layer contacting the at least one electrically conductive contact of the first semiconductor chip, wherein the first redistribution layer extends beyond the boundary of the first semiconductor chip; a second semiconductor chip having a first side and a second side, the second semiconductor chip having at least one electrically conductive contact at the first side of the second semiconductor chip; an electrically insulating layer positioned to at least partially encapsulate the second semiconductor chip, wherein the electrically insulating layer has at least one via exposing the first redistribution layer; and an adhesive layer positioned between the first side of the first semiconductor chip and the second side of the second semiconductor chip, wherein the second semiconductor chip is positioned directly on the adhesive layer.
