First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor package comprising: a monolithic type first die comprising a driver circuit and a low-side output power device connected to the driver circuit; a second die disposed above the first die, the second die comprising a high-side output power device; a first connection unit connecting a top of the first die and a bottom of the second die; and a second connection unit disposed on the second die. 2. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the low-side output power device comprises a bottom-source lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS). 3. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the first die comprises a power electrode provided on a bottom surface thereof. 4. The semiconductor package of claim 3 , wherein the power electrode is electrically connected to a power ground. 5. The semiconductor package of claim 4 , wherein a portion of the second connection unit connects an electrode of the high-side output power device to an input voltage. 6. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the high-side output power device comprises a bottom-source LDMOS that is unflipped. 7. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the high-side output power device comprises a VDMOS. 8. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the high-side output power device comprises a bottom-drain LDMOS. 9. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the second die comprises electrodes formed on both a top surface and a bottom surface thereof. 10. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the high-side output power device comprises a bottom-source LDMOS that is a flip chip. 11. The semiconductor package of claim 2 , wherein a source region of the bottom-source LDMOS is connected to a power electrode provided on a bottom surface of the first die, and a source current is grounded. 12. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , further comprising a high concentration doping region on the power electrode, wherein the high concentration doping region and a source region of the bottom-source LDMOS are connected using a trench. 13. The semiconductor package of claim 9 , wherein the electrode formed on the bottom surface of the second die is a power electrode configured to be grounded by a lead frame disposed between the first die and the second die. 14. A mobile communication terminal comprising a semiconductor package of claim 1 . 15. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the first die comprises a substrate and a source region of the low-side output power device. 16. The semiconductor package of claim 15 , wherein the source region of the low-side output power device is electrically connected with a bottom surface of the substrate through a trench structure, wherein the trench structure is filled with poly-Si or a conductive metal. 17. The semiconductor package of claim 2 , further comprising a backmetal disposed on a bottom surface of the first die, wherein the backmetal is electrically connected to a source region of the LDMOS device. 18. The semiconductor package of claim 17 , wherein the backmetal comprises a material selected from the group consisting of Ti/Ni/Ag, Ti/Ni/Au, Ti/TiN/Al and Ti/Ni/Cu. 19. A semiconductor package comprising: a monolithic type first die comprising a driver circuit and a low-side output power device connected to the driver circuit; a second die disposed above the first die, the second die comprising a high-side output power device; and a connection unit connecting an electrode on a top surface of the second die to an input voltage. 20. The semiconductor package of claim 19 , wherein at least a portion of a bottom surface of the second die is electrically connected to at least a portion of a top surface of the first die. 21. The semiconductor package of claim 19 , wherein a source region of the low-side output power device is electrically connected with a backmetal provided on a bottom surface of the first die.
