Abstract

A stacked multi-chip semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are provided. A chip carrier is formed with an opening for receiving a first chip therein, and a second chip is stacked on the first chip and over the opening, wherein the first and second chips are respectively electrically connected to the chip carrier by bonding wires. A first encapsulant is formed to encapsulate first chip and corresponding bonding wires, and a second encapsulant is formed around the second chip to encompass a cavity for receiving the second chip and corresponding bonding wires therein. A lid is attached to the second encapsulant for covering the cavity. This semiconductor package allows high integration and increase in operational performances by virtue of stacked multi-chip structure.
