The chip package includes a first and second semiconductor chip. The first
semiconductor chip has a first connection structure that electrically
connects to a bond pad on a first surface of the first semiconductor
chip. The second semiconductor chip has a second connection structure.
The second connection structure is electrically connected to a bond pad
on a first surface of the second semiconductor chip and extends through
the second semiconductor chip to a second surface of the second
semiconductor chip. A portion of the second connection structure
extending to the second surface of the second semiconductor chip is
electrically connected to the first connection structure and formed of a
harder material than the first connection structure.
