Abstract

A stack of semiconductor chips, a semiconductor device, and a method of manufacturing are disclosed. The stack of semiconductor chips may comprise a first chip of the stack, a second chip of the stack over the first chip, conductive bumps, a homogeneous integral underfill material, and a molding material. The conductive bumps may extend between an upper surface of the first chip and a lower surface of the second chip. The homogeneous integral underfill material may be interposed between the first chip and the second chip, encapsulate the conductive bumps, and extend along sidewalls of the second chip. The homogeneous integral underfill material may have an upper surface extending in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the second chip and located adjacent the upper surface of the second chip. The molding material may be on outer side surfaces of the homogeneous integral underfill material above the upper surface of the first chip, wherein, in view of a first cross sectional profile, the molding material is separated from sidewalls of the second chip by the homogeneous integral underfill material such that the molding material does not contact sidewalls of the second chip.
