Abstract
A bare chip includes a first semiconductor storage part and a second semiconductor storage part, formed in the stage of a wafer serving as a semiconductor material, capable of storing data independently of each other, and an electric wire serving as a semiconductor storage part employment/nonemployment selection circuit setting each of the first semiconductor storage part and the second semiconductor storage part in either a mode capable of inputting/outputting data or a mode incapable of inputting/outputting the data. Thus obtained is a semiconductor memory module formed by a plurality of bare chips integrally coated with molding resin, having a function of replacing a bare chip detected as defective with a spare chip.
Claims3
