Abstract
Abstract In a semiconductor device, an outer lead is divided into plural leads at an outer lead region connected to an inner lead which is connected to an electrode terminal of a semiconductor chip, a plurality of TAB packages on which the semiconductor chip has been packaged are stacked in plural layers, at least one of the plural divided leads every stacked layers is left and a predetermined number of the divided leads are cut out, and these stacked TAB packages are mounted on a circuit board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A semiconductor device, comprising: an outer lead region connected to an inner lead which is connected to an electrode terminal of a semiconductor chip, said outer lead region comprising plural divided leads each connected to said inner lead; a circuit board; a plurality of TAB packages, said semiconductor chip being packaged in said TAB packages, said TAB packages being stacked in plural layers; said stacked TAB packages being mounted on said circuit board; at least one of said plural divided leads being provided at each of said stacked layers and a predetermined number of said plural divided leads being cut out of each of said stacked layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A semiconductor device, comprising: an outer lead region connected to an inner lead which is connected to an electrode terminal of a semiconductor chip, said outer lead region comprising plural divided leads each connected to said inner lead; a circuit board; a plurality of TAB packages, said semiconductor chip being packaged in said TAB packages, said TAB packages being stacked in plural layers; said stacked TAB packages being mounted on said circuit board; at least one of said plural divided leads being provided at each of said stacked layers and a predetermined number of said plural divided leads being cut out of each of said stacked layers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of the plural leads which are continuous with said inner lead and divided at the outer lead region is equal to the number of leads of the stacked layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein positions of the plural divided leads which are provided without being cut out at said stacked layers are different for each package of the respective stacked layers to avoid interfering with said at least one of said plural divided leads which is provided at each of said stacked layers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a hole is formed in a resin tape adjacent to the outer lead region and a guide pin is inserted into said hole so as to position the plural outer leads between each package when the TAB packages are stacked.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said semiconductor chip corresponds to a memory chip, and the outer lead which has been divided into plural leads correspond to terminals for supplying chip selection instructing signals.
