Abstract
A via hole is formed on a base substrate before a device circuit is formed, and thermal oxidation is performed to form a thermal oxidation layer on a surface of the base substrate on which the device circuit is formed and a surface in the via hole. The device circuit having a conductive section is formed on the base substrate after the thermal oxidation, and then, a conductive body is embedded in the via hole.
