In a circuit device having a circuit element housed in a case, a rise of
air pressure and occurrence of condensation in the case are prevented. A
circuit device of the present invention includes a case formed of a
bottom part and a side part, and a cover part covering an upper surface
of the side part. In an internal space of the case, a circuit element
such as a semiconductor element is housed. In a bottom part of the case,
a land and leads are buried. A communicating part which causes the
internal space of the case to communicate with an outside of the case is
provided in the land. By providing the communicating part, the rise of
air pressure and occurrence of condensation in the internal space due to
change in temperature are suppressed. Furthermore, in the land made of
metal, the communicating part can be easily formed by etching or the
like.
