Abstract

An electronic component has a board, a semiconductor element mounted on an upper surface of the board, a ground electrode formed in a region surrounding the semiconductor element on the upper surface of the board, a conductive cap that overlaps the board such that the semiconductor element is covered therewith, and a conductive joining member that joins a whole periphery of a lower surface of the conductive cap to the ground electrode. The conductive cap includes a pressing portion on the lower surface thereof The lower surface of the conductive cap and the ground electrode are joined by the conductive joining member on an outer peripheral side of the pressing portion.

Claims (26)
