The integrated circuit device comprises a substrate, a plurality of dies having surfaces with a plurality of compliant bumps thereon. The compliant bumps are rearranged in any area of the dies for electrically connecting the dies and the substrate. The joint area of the bumps after rearrangement is smaller than the joint area of the bumps on the center. An adhesive is daubed on the joint area of the substrate and the dies for the purpose of jointing the substrate and the dies. By changing the position of the compliant bumps so that they are centrally corresponded on the dies without changing the electrical characteristics and the wiring arrangement of the dies, costs are lowered, reliability is increased and the glass substrate is less easily bent.
