Abstract
Abstract A central portion of a front surface of a first semiconductor chip is bonded to a first surface of a die pad of a lead frame via an elastic insulating film. A peripheral portion having electrodes of the front surface is outside of the die pad. With a back surface of the first semiconductor chip put in contact with a jig surface, wire bonding of the first semiconductor chip is performed. Then, with a second surface of the die pad opposite from the first semiconductor chip put in contact with a jig surface, a back surface of a second semiconductor chip is bonded to the back surface of the semiconductor chip via an adhesive. With the second surface of the die pad put in contact with a jig surface, wire bonding of the second semiconductor chip is performed.
