Abstract

A semiconductor chip having a vertical current conduction structure of a high reliability: a semiconductor device, a circuit substrate, and an electronic apparatus each containing such semiconductor chips; and a method for producing them. A prehole (3) is formed in a silicon substrate (10) surface-oriented to a (100) face by laser beam irradiation. The prehole (3) is enlarged by anisotropic etching to thereby form a through-hole (4). An electrically insulating film is formed on an inner wall of the through-hole (4). An electrically conducting material is provided inside the insulating film to thereby form a metal bump (30).
