- 1. Field of the Invention
- Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a semiconductor package, and more particularly, to a semiconductor package that may be implemented in a stack package, a stack package using the same, and a method that may be implemented to fabricate the stack package.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A semiconductor package may be molded using an epoxy molding compound (EMC), for example, that may seal and/or protect a semiconductor chip with micro-circuits. An external terminal of the semiconductor chip may be electrically connected to the PCB through a wire, for example.
- Numerous attempts may have been pursued to miniaturize semiconductor packages.
- The components of a semiconductor package may be disposed close to each other and/or provided in a group. If numerous semiconductor chips are implemented, then various structures may be provided to reduce a space therebetween. Conventional structures may include a chip stack package and a stack package. In the chip stack package, a plurality of semiconductor chips may be implemented in an individual package. In the stack package, two or more unit semiconductor packages may be stacked together.

A plurality ofsemiconductor chips 20 may be stacked on a top of thePCB 10. Thesemiconductor chips 20 may be sealed using a sealing material 30 (e.g., EMC). Although the chip stack package is generally thought to provide acceptable performance, it is not without shortcomings. For example, thechips 20 may be damaged during a stacking process, thereby reducing a production yield. - A chip scale package (CSP) may provide a reduced package size and maintain the characteristics of a bare chip in a package state. A fine ball-grid array (FBGA) package is one example of a CSP.

Here, the stack package may include a second unit semiconductor package B that may be stacked on a first unit semiconductor package A.

Thesubstrate 80 may reduce the package warp that might otherwise occur. A via hole (not shown) may be provided on thesubstrate 80. The unit packages A and B may be electrically connected to each other through a post that may be provided in the via hole. However, the structure shown inFIG. 2 b may be difficult to manufacture and/or involve cumbersome processes. - In the stack packages in
FIGS. 2A and 2B , thesealing materials conductive bumps 40 may be somewhat limited to the extent that theconductive bumps 40 may be positioned laterally outward of the sealingmaterials - According to an example, non-limiting embodiment, a semiconductor package may include a substrate. A conductive bump may be provided on a bottom surface of the substrate. A semiconductor chip may be provided on a top surface of the substrate. A sealing material may seal the semiconductor chip. A first conductive adhesive may be provided on a top surface of the sealing material. A second conductive adhesive may be provided on a side surface of the printed circuit board and a side surface of the sealing material.
