Abstract

Reliability is improved in a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a wiring layer, a semiconductor chip stacked in a predetermined region on a wiring surface of the wiring layer, and a signal line that is wired on the wiring surface and has an angle less than a predetermined angle in at least one of two regions divided by any boundary line of the predetermined region, the angle being formed when the signal line crosses the boundary line. The semiconductor chip is stacked in a predetermined region on the wiring surface of the wiring layer. The signal line is wired on the wiring surface and has an angle less than the predetermined angle in at least one of two regions divided by any boundary line of the predetermined region, the angle being formed when the signal line crosses the boundary line.
