The semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor chip having first
electrodes on a fringe region of a main surface thereof, and a second
semiconductor chip smaller in area than the first semiconductor chip and
having second electrodes on a main surface thereof. The first
semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip are connected
together by bonding a surface of the second semiconductor chip that is
opposite to the main surface thereof to a region of the main surface of
the first semiconductor chip other than the fringe region. The first
electrodes are connected to the second electrodes by wirings formed over
the main surface of the first semiconductor chip, a side surface of the
second semiconductor chip and the main surface of the second
semiconductor chip.
