  • Patent number: 11335617
    Abstract: An electronic component whose reliability is less likely to decrease while its thermal conductivity is maintained. A semiconductor chip is mounted on a substrate. The semiconductor chip is sealed with a sealing resin layer. The sealing resin layer includes a binder and two types of fillers having a plurality of particles dispersed in the binder. As the two types of fillers, fillers at least one of whose physical quantities, which are average particle diameter and density, are different from each other are used. The total volume density of the fillers in the sealing resin layer decreases in an upward direction from the substrate, and a portion of the sealing resin layer in a height direction of the sealing resin layer has an area in which the two types of fillers are present in a mixed manner.
