Multi-chip semiconductor device and method of producing the same

A method of producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:

• a) mounting semiconductor chips on the upper major surface and the lower major surface of a circuit board including a ceramic base board having a higher heat conductivity than a normal ceramic base board;
• b) attaching upper heat conductive blocks either on the upper major surface of an upper group of semiconductor chips mounted on said circuit board or on the upper major surface of said ceramic base board or on both;
• c) forming a resin package for encapsulating said circuit board, said upper group of semiconductor chips, said upper heat conductive blocks and a lower group of semiconductor chips mounted on the lower major surface of said circuit board;
• d) lapping the upper major surface of said resin package formed in the step c) so as to expose said upper heat conductive blocks;
• and
• e) attaching a heat sink to the lapped upper major surface of said resin package.
