A liquid ejection head comprises a semiconductor substrate having an energy generating element arranged thereon to generate energy to be utilized to eject liquid and a laminate including a plurality of insulating layers laid sequentially in the depth direction of the semiconductor substrate. Wiring is formed in the laminate and electrically connected to the energy generating element. The wiring includes a via formed in the insulating layers in the thickness direction of the insulating layers. The energy generating element is arranged between the semiconductor substrate and the laminate in the laminating direction of the insulating layers.
