ABSTRACT:
A circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate on which a circuit element is formed, an electrode formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer formed on the electrode, a second wiring layer formed on the insulating layer, and a conductive bump which penetrates the insulating layer and electrically connects the electrode and the second wiring layer. The conductive bump is such that the size of crystal grains in a direction parallel with the surface of the semiconductor substrate is larger than the size of crystal grains in a conduction direction of the electrode and the wiring layer.
