Method for manufacturing electronic component
View Patent ↗An electronic circuit is manufactured by the following method. Elements are formed on a front surface of a substrate, and then, a recess is formed around each of the elements in the front surface of the substrate. Then, a portion of the substrate is removed from a back surface of the substrate until reaching the bottom of the recess. In the method, the elements are separated at once by removing the portion of the substrate from the back surface, and thus, the elements are manufactured efficiently.
