Abstract
A semiconductor device using TCP structure, includes a first semiconductor chip mounted on a tape carrier by ILB and a second semiconductor chip mounted on the tape carrier by stacking onto the first semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip is arranged so that a first electrode, formed on a surface of the first semiconductor chip, is connected to an inner lead via a first gold bump. The second semiconductor chip is arranged so that a third electrode formed on the second semiconductor chip is connected to a second electrode formed on the same surface as the first electrode via a second gold bump. In this fashion, it is possible to reduce a terminal pitch of the semiconductor device on which more than one semiconductor chip are mounted.
