  • Patent number: 9181081
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electrical component comprises a substrate, a functional element formed on the substrate, a first layer which includes through holes, and forms a cavity that stores the functional element on the substrate, and a second layer which is formed on the first layer, and closes the through holes. The first layer includes a first film, a second film on the first film, and a third film on the second film. A Young's modulus of the second film is higher than a Young's modulus of the first film and the third film.
