          Application No. 08/464,577                                                  


          reduce heat transfer between them (page 12, line 22 to page                 
          13, line 23).                                                               
               Independent claims 6 and 24 are reproduced as follows:                 
               6.  A method for forming a film carrier tape for a                     
               semiconductor device comprising the steps of                           
               superposing a metallic layer on a carrier member and                   
               etching the metallic layer so as to form metallic                      
               leads and a heat sink separate from the metallic                       
               leads for the semiconductor device.                                    
               24.  A method of forming a laminated multi-chip                        
               semiconductor device comprising a step of stacking a                   
               plurality of chip semiconductor devices in multiple                    
               layers on a substrate, wherein said chip                               
               semiconductor devices are formed by the steps of:                      
                    providing a film carrier tape with leads;                         
                    electrically connecting a semiconductor chip to                   
               the leads of the film carrier tape;                                    
                    mounting a heat sink separate from the leads                      
               electrically connected to the semiconductor chip to                    
               a surface of the semiconductor chip; and                               
                    providing a connector for the mounting of the                     
               heat sink and electrically connecting the connector                    
               to the leads of the film carrier tape.
