Semiconductor devices, package substrates, semiconductor packages, package stack structures, and electronic systems having functionally asymmetric conductive elements

Abstract

A package stack structure may an upper package include an upper package substrate having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge. The upper package substrate has a first region arranged near the first edge and a second region arranged near the second edge. A first upper semiconductor device is mounted on the upper package substrate. The package stack structure may also include a lower package having a lower package substrate and a lower semiconductor device. The lower package is connected to the upper package through a plurality of inter-package connectors. The plurality of the inter-package connectors may include first inter-package connectors configured to transmit data signals; second inter-package connectors configured to transmit address/control signals; third inter-package connectors configured to provide a supply voltage for an address/control circuit; and fourth inter-package connectors configured to provide a supply voltage for a data circuit.
