Patent ID: 7667313

Claim:
A stacked semiconductor module, wherein the module is made by stacking a second semiconductor device above a first semiconductor device, the second semiconductor device having a second semiconductor chip mounted to a top surface of a second semiconductor substrate, the first semiconductor device having a first semiconductor chip mounted to a first semiconductor substrate, a top surface of the first semiconductor substrate is provided with a first connection terminal, a bottom surface of the second semiconductor substrate is provided with a second connection terminal, a first conductive connecting member connects the first connection terminal to the second connection terminal, an underfill resin fills between the second semiconductor substrate and the second semiconductor chip, and said stacked semiconductor module is arrange such that a first outer periphery of a first region in which the underfill resin is formed surrounds, in plan view, a second outer periphery of a second region in which the second semiconductor chip is held, thereby forming a middle region between said first and second outer periphery, wherein at least a portion of said first conductive connecting member is formed, in plan view, in said middle region.
