Abstract:
1. A semiconductor apparatus comprising: a substrate; a first semiconductor device; and a second semiconductor device which is stacked on the first semiconductor device and has a projection part projecting from an outer edge of the first semiconductor device, wherein the first semiconductor device and the second semiconductor device are arranged on the substrate and are sealed by a resin layer formed on the substrate, wherein the second semiconductor device has thereon a first circuit area, and a second circuit area which reaches a higher temperature than the first circuit area, and the second circuit area is arranged so as to include the projection part, wherein the resin layer is formed so that a distance between the edge portion including the second circuit area of the second semiconductor device and a side wall surface of the resin layer corresponding thereto, is shorter than that of any other edge portion, and wherein an amount of current flowing through a first wiring connecting an electrode portion included in the first circuit area with a terminal provided on the substrate, is lower than that flowing through a second wiring connecting an electrode portion included in the second circuit area with a terminal provided on the substrate.
