Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a board, a sealing portion, a controller, a semiconductor chip, and solder balls. The board includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The controller and the semiconductor chip are covered with the sealing portion. The solder balls are on the second surface of the board. The solder balls include a plurality of solder ball sets each corresponding to a pair of differential input and differential output signals, and the plurality of solder ball sets are arranged substantially parallel to a side of the board.

Claim (Index 10):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a package board comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a sealing portion on the first surface of the package board; a controller covered with the sealing portion; a semiconductor memory chip electrically connected to the controller and covered with the sealing portion; and solder balls provided on the second surface of the package board, and configured to be connected to pads on the package board, wherein the solder balls comprise a first group, a second group and a third group, the second group being located around the first group, the third group being located around the second group, the first group includes power supply balls electrically connected to a power supply layer of the package board and first ground balls electrically connected to a ground layer of the package board, and the power supply balls are arranged substantially point-symmetrically with respect to a center of the package board and the first ground balls are arranged substantially point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the package board, wherein the second group comprises at least four solder ball sets, each of the four solder ball sets includes a first ball and a second ball which are corresponding to positive and negative of differential input signals of the PCI Express standard and a third ball and a fourth ball which are corresponding to positive and negative of differential output signals of the PCI Express standard, respectively, the four solder ball sets are located between a side of the package board extending in a first direction and a central portion of the package board, wherein the side corresponds to one edge of the board in a plan view, the side being configured to be closest to a host controller, the four solder ball sets are arranged in the first direction, the first ball and the second ball are arranged in a second direction and the third ball and the fourth ball are arranged in the second direction, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction in the plan view, and wherein the third group comprises heat radiation balls which are grounded.
