Patent ID: 7405485

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a first semiconductor chip having a first functional surface formed with a first functional element and a first rear surface which is opposite from the first functional surface; a second semiconductor chip having a second functional surface which is formed with a second functional element, the second functional surface having a region opposed to the first functional surface of the first semiconductor chip and and a non-opposed region defined outside the opposed region; a connection member provided between the first functional surface and the second functional surface and electrically connecting the first functional element and the second functional element; an insulation film continuously covering the non-opposed region of the second semiconductor chip and the first rear surface of the first semiconductor chip; a rewiring layer provided on a surface of the insulation film and electrically connected to the second functional element; a protective resin layer covering the rewiring layer; and an external connection terminal projecting from the rewiring layer through the protective resin layer.
