Abstract
A semiconductor chip is characterized in that some of the contact points for connecting the semiconductor chip to other components of a system that contains the chip is provided for making a connection with another semiconductor chip that can be mounted onto the first semiconductor chip and that enhances the functions and/or the power of the latter. Such a configuration allows a small semiconductor chip to be produced in a cost-effective manner, using minimal resources and the chip can be enhanced by any number of modules, without modifying the characteristics of the system, in which it is contained.
Claims20
A semiconductor circuit, comprising:
- a first semiconductor chip having contact points for connecting to other components of a system containing said first semiconductor chip;
- and
- a second semiconductor chip removably disposed on said first semiconductor chip and augments said first semiconductor component in terms of at least one of function and power, some of said contact points of said first semiconductor chip connected to said second semiconductor chip.
A semiconductor circuit, comprising:
- a semiconductor chip having contact points for connecting to other components of a system containing said semiconductor chip, some of said contact points provided for connecting to a further semiconductor chip, said further semiconductor chip being removably disposed on said semiconductor chip and augments said semiconductor chip in terms of at least one of function and power.
