Abstract:
A stacked semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor dies stacked in a first direction, M data paths electrically connecting the plurality of semiconductor dies, one data path including one or more through-silicon vias, where M is a positive integer, a transmission circuit including M serialization units configured to serialize P transmission signals to M serial signals and output the M serial signals to the M data paths, respectively, where P is a positive integer greater than M and a reception circuit including M parallelization units configured to receive the M serial signals from the M data paths and parallelize the M serial signals to P reception signals corresponding to the P transmission signals. The number of the through-silicon vias is reduced by serializing the transmission signals, transferring the serialized signals through the smaller number of data paths between the stacked semiconductor dies and then parallelizing the transferred signals.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the through-silicon via comprises a first through-silicon via, the method further comprising:\n electrically connecting the plurality of semiconductor dies through one or more strobe paths, at least one of the one or more strobe paths comprising a second through-silicon via; and providing a plurality of parallelization strobe signals used to parallelize the plurality of M serial signals to the plurality of P reception signals from the first semiconductor die to the second semiconductor die through the one or more strobe paths.
