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).
