Abstract:
A multi-chip semiconductor apparatus includes a plurality of semiconductor chips stacked and packaged therein, wherein each of the semiconductor chips includes: a through-silicon via (TSV) formed through the semiconductor chip; a probe pad exposed to an outside of the semiconductor chip so as to enable a probing test; a bump pad exposed to the outside of the semiconductor chip and electrically connected to the TSV; and a conductive layer electrically connecting the probe pad and the bump pad inside the semiconductor chip.

Claim (Index 3):
A method of testing a multi-chip package having a plurality of semiconductor chips, each of the semiconductor chips including a through-silicon via (TSV) formed through the semiconductor chip, a probe pad formed at least one of a first surface and a second surface of the semiconductor chip, an internal circuit formed in the semiconductor chip, bump pads electrically connected to both ends of the TSV, and a plurality of connecting portions electrically connected between the TSV and the probe pad, between the probe pad and the internal circuit, between the internal circuit and the TSV, and between the TSV and at least one of the bump pads, the semiconductor chips being electrically connected by a bump which positioned between the bump pads, the method comprising:\n packaging the plurality of the semiconductor chips which are stacked, to be exposed a selected probe pad; and serving a signal by the exposed probe pad thereby performing a probe test, wherein the signal is transmitted to other semiconductor chips through the connecting portions, the TSV and the bump.
