An integrated type semiconductor device that is capable of reducing cost or improving
the reliability of connecting semiconductor chips together or chips to a circuit
board. One embodiment of such an integrated type semiconductor device comprises
a first semiconductor device (10) having a semiconductor chip (12)
with electrodes (16), a stress-relieving layer (14) prepared on the
semiconductor chip (12), a wire (18) formed across the electrodes
(16) and the stress-relieving layer (14), and solder balls (19)
formed on the wire (18) over the stress-relieving layer (14); and
a bare chip (20) as a second semiconductor device to be electrically connected
to the first semiconductor device (10).
