Abstract

Abstract Electrodes of a semiconductor element are connected to lead wires provided on a flexible substrate, thereby forming a structural unit of a semiconductor element. A plurality of structural unit of a semiconductor elements are stacked on a mounting board, and the lead wires of each flexible substrate are electrically connected to wiring patterns on the package board. The stacked structure units of semiconductor elements are sealed on a package board through use of resin.
