Abstract

An electronic component includes a piezoelectric substrate, a first functional element, a first wiring, insulating films, a first conductive film, and a first external connection terminal. The first functional element is disposed on the piezoelectric substrate. The first wiring is disposed on the piezoelectric substrate, and is electrically connected to the first functional element. The insulating films are disposed on the piezoelectric substrate, and define a first hollow portion in which the first functional element is included. The first conductive film is disposed on the insulating films, and has a portion that passes through the insulating films and is electrically connected to the first wiring. The first external connection terminal is provided on the first conductive film, and is disposed at a position overlapping at least a portion of the first functional element in a plan view as viewed in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric substrate.
