A semiconductor device includes a plurality of insulating layers laminated
on a substrate to cover passive elements such as a capacitor, an
inductor, and the like, and to fix an IC chip in a face up state in one
of the insulating layers. The insulating layers have similar structures
in each of which the passive element or the semiconductor chip is
disposed in at the bottom, a plug is formed in the insulating layer to
pass therethrough in the thickness direction for extending an electrode
of one of these elements to the top surface, and a conductive layer is
provided as wiring on the top surface of the insulating layer to be
connected to the plugs for electrically connecting respective elements or
rearranging the electrode position. Also, an insulating layer is provided
on the top for protecting the semiconductor device and for providing an
external connecting electrode.
