An electronic component comprising:
- a substrate;
- a functional part that is formed beneath at least one of a front face and a bottom face of the substrate and that performs a predetermined function;
- a plurality of terminals that is formed on the front face or the bottom face of the substrate and that is connected to the functional part;
- a plurality of outer electrodes formed on the front face and the bottom face of the substrate;
- and
- interconnection lines, formed on the front face and the bottom face of the substrate, for connecting the terminals on the front face or the bottom face of the substrate to the outer electrodes.
A method of manufacturing an electronic component, the method comprising steps of:
- forming a functional part, performing a predetermined function, beneath at least one of a front face and a bottom face of a substrate;
- leading a plurality of terminals from one face of the two faces to the other faces thereof, the terminals being connected to the functional part and extending through the substrate;
- and
- forming a plurality of outer electrodes on the front face and the bottom face of the substrate to connect the outer electrodes to the corresponding terminals.
