Abstract

A stacked structure for memory chips includes a substrate, a lower memory chip, an upper memory chip, and an insulation medium. The substrate has an upper surface, a lower surface and a slot penetrating through the substrate from the upper surface to the lower surface. The lower memory chip has a central portion formed with a plurality of bonding pads. The lower memory chip is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate. The plurality of bonding pads is exposed via the slot of the substrate, and the bonding pads are electrically connected to the lower surface of the substrate via a plurality of wires. The upper memory chip has a central portion formed with a plurality of bonding pads. The upper memory chip is arranged on the lower memory chip in a back-to-back manner with respect to the lower memory chip so that the plurality of bonding pads of the upper memory chip faces upwards. The insulation medium has a central portion formed with a slot. The plurality of bonding pads of the upper memory chip is exposed via the slot of the insulation medium. The insulation medium is formed with a plurality of traces electrically connecting to the bonding pads of the upper memory chip and th…
