Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a substrate, first stacked components, second stacked components, and a coating resin. The first stacked components include first chips and are stacked on a surface of the substrate. The second stacked components include second chips and are stacked on the surface. The coating resin covers the surface, the first stacked components, and the second stacked components. A first top surface of a second farthest one of the first chips away from the surface differs in position in a first direction from a second top surface of second farthest one of the second chips away from the surface.
