The present invention provides a three-dimensional substrate having a different shape than the conventional circuit substrate when a plurality of components are combined to form an electronic circuit. In addition, an electronic device is provided from the three-dimensional substrate. The three-dimensional substrate forms a component forming the three-dimensional structure by three-dimensionally forming the electronic circuit. The component includes at least one electronic component and an electric connection structure for electrically connecting the electronic component with the outside the component. When a plurality of components are combined, the electronic device having the three-dimensional shape having a different shape than the component is formed. The present invention provides the three-dimensional substrate capable of being designed by the shape of the substrate itself.
