In one embodiment, the substrate 10 is provided with a second contact through hole 14, both end surfaces of the second contact through hole 14 are exposed to the first molding surface 11 and the second molding surface 12, respectively, the memory cell array portion 30 is provided with a third contact through hole 31, and the second contact through hole 14 is connected to the third contact through hole 31, and the semiconductor memory further includes: and a pad 60, the pad 60 being disposed on a side of the memory cell array portion 30 facing away from the substrate 10, the pad 60 being in electrical communication with the peripheral circuit portion 20 through the third contact via 31 and the second contact via 14.
