Abstract: An electronic component that includes an electronic component body, sealing members sealing the electronic component body, and adhesive layers which adhere the electronic component body and the sealing members, respectively. Between the electronic component body and the sealing members, sealed spaces are formed, respectively. The adhesive layers each contain organic fillers and inorganic fillers.

The inorganic fillers each have a minimum particle diameter smaller than the thickness of each of the adhesive layers. When the adhesive layers are viewed in a thickness direction thereof, the inorganic fillers are provided between the organic fillers and the electronic component body and between the organic fillers and each of the sealing members.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric component includes forming an unhardened first elastic material partially on at least a pair of end portions of a piezoelectric element, the pair of end portions including an edge portion of the piezoelectric element, hardening the first elastic material, forming an unhardened second elastic material on the entire circumference of the piezoelectric element and the first elastic material, hardening the second elastic material, forming an unhardened outer-cladding resin on the entire circumference of the second elastic material covering the piezoelectric element and the first elastic material, and hardening the outer-cladding resin.

Abstract: An electronic chip component includes a package provided with external electrodes having excellent heat resistance and adhesion. In the electronic chip component, a package includes heat-resistant resin molding, and the external electrodes are provided on the surface of the package. The resin molding include a polymeric material having polar groups of at least one of an ether group, an ester group, a hydroxyl group, a carbonyl group, an amido group, and an imido group. The external electrodes have a multilayer structure having at least two layers including a lowermost layer containing a conductive film formed by baking conductive paste composed of a resin composition and metal particles at a low temperature, the resin composition including a compound having a trifunctional or higher functional group in one molecule. Each of the external electrodes includes an uppermost layer including a metal plate having good solderability.

Abstract: A chip-type piezoelectric component has greatly increased bond strength of external electrodes while allowing the external electrodes to be easily formed. The external electrodes including a conductive paste are continuously formed on the side surface of a laminated body in which a piezoelectric element is laminated with seal substrates in addition to embedding a part of the external electrodes in recesses in which terminal electrodes of the piezoelectric element have been exposed. A metal plating layer having good solder wettability is provided on the outermost layer of the external electrode. The bonding strength between the external electrode and the laminated body is greatly improved by the wedge effect of the conductive paste penetrated in the recess, thereby preventing the electrode from peeling.

Abstract: An organic silicon compound 10 is applied around vibrating electrodes 3a and 3b of a piezoelectric resonant element 1. A compound such as silane, chlorosilane, silazane, silthiane, siloxane, cyclosilane, cyclosilazane, cyclosilthiane, cyclosiloxane, silanol, or metallosilicone is used as the organic silicon compound 10. Around the piezoelectric resonant element 1 and the organic silicon compound 10, for example, an ultraviolet ray curing resin is applied, and the ultraviolet ray curing resin is cured, thereby a permeable film 11 is formed. A cavity 12 is formed around the vibrating electrodes 3a and 3b by dispersing the organic silicon compound 10 to the outside through the film 11. Around the film 11, for example, an outer coating resin is applied, and the outer coating resin is cured, thereby an outer coating material 13 is formed.
