Abstract

An electronic component includes: a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposing to the first surface; a trans-substrate conductive plug that penetrates the semiconductor substrate from the first surface to the second surface; an electronic element provided in the vicinity of the first surface of the semiconductor; and a sealing member that seals the electronic element between the sealing member and the first surface, wherein the electronic element is electrically connected to the trans-substrate conductive plug.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic component comprising:

a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposing to the first surface;

a trans-substrate conductive plug that penetrates the semiconductor substrate from the first surface to the second surface;

an electronic element provided on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, the electronic element including a surface acoustic wave element;

a sealing member that seals the electronic element between the sealing member and the first surface; and

an integrated circuit which is provided on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate at a position outside of the sealed area by the sealing member, and drives and controls the electronic element, the integrated circuit including a transistor and a memory element;

wherein the electronic element and the integrated circuit are electrically connected to the trans-substrate conductive plug.

2. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second member comprises the sealing member.

3. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second member comprises a second substrate provided between the first surface and the sealing member.

4. The electronic component according to claim 1 , further comprising a connecting terminal for connecting to an external apparatus, the connecting terminal being provided above the second surface of the semiconductor substrate.

5. A circuit board comprising the electronic component according to claim 1 mounted on the circuit board.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising the electronic component according to claim 1 .

7. The electronic component according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a connecting terminal for connecting to an external apparatus, the connecting terminal being provided above the second surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein:

the first surface of the semiconductor substrate is substantially flat;

the second surface of the semiconductor substrate is substantially parallel to the first surface;

at least a part of the trans-substrate conductive plug is provided on a plane parallel to the first surface within an area corresponding to the electronic element; and

at least a part of the connecting terminal is provided on a plane parallel to the first surface within an area corresponding to the electronic element.
