A semiconductor device includes: a silicon substrate that includes a heat release mechanism formed on a rear surface thereof; and an element layer that includes a transistor element and is formed on a front surface of the silicon substrate, the heat release mechanism including: a carbon material being a high heat-conducting material such as a CNT that is higher in heat conductivity than the silicon substrate and is formed in a plurality of first holes formed in the rear surface of the silicon substrate; and a carbon material being a heat-conductive film such as a multilayer graphene film that is thermally connected to the CNT in a manner to cover a rear surface side of the silicon substrate. This configuration provides a carbon material-embedded silicon substrate realizing very efficient heat release with a relatively simple configuration to obtain a highly-reliable electronic device.
