Abstract

Provided is a stacked chip package and a method for forming the same. A spacer is formed on a side of an upper chip. A conductive line is formed on the spacer to electrically connect upper and lower chips. The reliability of the stacked chip package is improved because wire bonding is not used to electrically connect the upper and lower chips. Further, the overall size of the stacked chip package can be reduced as the height of bonding wire loops does not contribute to the overall stacked chip package height.
