Patent ID: 8823158

Claim:
A stacked semiconductor package comprising: a first semiconductor package comprising: a first substrate; a first semiconductor chip disposed on an upper surface of the first substrate, the first semiconductor chip having first bonding pads; a first molding member covering the first semiconductor chip; first wiring lines disposed on the first substrate and electrically connected to the first bonding pads, wherein the first wiring lines extend out of the first molding member such that ends of the first wiring lines are exposed; and first connection patterns electrically connected to the exposed ends of the first wiring lines, wherein the first connection patterns pass through the first substrate and each has a first hole; a second semiconductor package comprising: a second substrate disposed over the first semiconductor package; a second semiconductor chip disposed on an upper surface of the second substrate, the second semiconductor chip having second bonding pads; a second molding member covering the second semiconductor chip; second wiring lines disposed on the second substrate and electrically connected to the second bonding pads, wherein the second wiring lines extend out of the second molding member such that ends of the second wiring lines are exposed; and second connection patterns electrically connected to the exposed ends of the second wiring lines, wherein the second connection patterns pass through the second substrate and each has a second hole aligned with a corresponding one of the first holes; and a plurality of connectors each comprising: a connector body interposed between the first and second semiconductor packages, the connector body including a through-hole defined at a position corresponding to the first hole of a corresponding one of the first connection patterns and the second hole aligned with the first hole; and a conductive member inserted into the through-hole and electrically connecting the corresponding one of the first connection patterns to the second connection patterns having the second hole aligned with the first hole.
