Appeal No. 1999-0884 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.
