Abstract
This semiconductor device is formed by stacking a plurality of semiconductor chips that each have a plurality of bump electrodes, each of the plurality of semiconductor chips being provided with an identification section formed on a respective side face. Each semiconductor chip has a similar arrangement for its respective plurality of bump electrodes, and each identification section is formed so that the positional relationship with a respective reference bump electrode provided at a specific location among the respective plurality of bump electrodes is the same in each semiconductor chip. The plurality of semiconductor chips are stacked such that the bump electrodes provided thereon are electrically connected in the order of stacking of the semiconductor chips, while the side faces on which the identification sections are formed are oriented in the same direction.
