Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a base member and semiconductor chips stacked on the base member. The semiconductor chips include a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip adjacent to the first semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor substrate, a functional layer and through electrodes. The through electrodes extend from the back surface to the front surface of the semiconductor substrate, and are electrically connected to the functional layer on the front surface. The second semiconductor chip is electrically connected to the first semiconductor chip through connection members connected to the through electrodes. The functional layer includes first and second contact pads. The second contact pad is positioned at a level between the semiconductor substrate and the first contact pad. The through electrodes include a first through electrode connected to the first contact pad and a second through electrode connected to the second contact pad.
