A semiconductor integrated circuit chip, in which multi-core processors are integrated, is usually mounted over an organic wiring board by FC bonding to form a BGA package by being integrated with the substrate. In such a structure, power consumption is increased, and hence the power supplied only from a peripheral portion of the chip is insufficient, so that a power supply pad is also provided in the chip central portion. However, because of an increase in the wiring associated with the integration of a plurality of CPU cores, etc., there occurs a portion between the peripheral portion and the central portion of the chip, where a power supply pad cannot be arranged. According to the outline of the present application, in a semiconductor integrated circuit device such as a BGA, etc., in which a semiconductor chip is mounted over an interposer, such as a multilayer organic wiring board, in a face-up manner, a first group of metal through electrodes, which are provided in the semiconductor chip to supply a power supply potential to a core circuit, etc., and a first metal land over the interposer are interconnected by a first conductive adhesive member film.
