Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic component package, the electronic component package comprising: a base incorporating a plurality of external connecting terminals; and at least one electronic component chip that is bonded to the base and electrically connected to at least one of the external connecting terminals, the method comprising the steps of: fabricating a wafer incorporating a plurality of sets of external connecting terminals corresponding to a plurality of electronic component packages, and a retainer for retaining the plurality of sets of external connecting terminals, the wafer including a plurality of pre-base portions that will be separated from one another later so that each of them will thereby become the base; bonding at least one electronic component chip to each of the pre-base portions of the wafer; and cutting the wafer so that the pre-base portions are separated from one another and a plurality of bases are thereby formed, the cutting being performed after the bonding, wherein: the method further comprising forming the side surface of the base such that a portion of each of the plurality of external connecting terminals protrudes from the side surface, wherein:
