Semiconductor package having supporting plate and method of forming the same

Abstract

A semiconductor package may include a packaging substrate, a first semiconductor chip on the packaging substrate, and a support plate on the packaging substrate. The support plate may be spaced apart from the first semiconductor chip in a direction parallel with respect to a surface of the packaging substrate. A second semiconductor chip may be provided on the first semiconductor chip and on the support plate so that the first semiconductor chip is between the second semiconductor chip and the packaging substrate and so that the support plate is between the second semiconductor chip and the packaging substrate. An adhesion layer may bond the second semiconductor chip to the first semiconductor chip and may bond the second semiconductor chip to the support plate. In addition, an electrical coupling may be provided between the first semiconductor chip and the packaging substrate.
