Abstract
Abstract A circuit component module includes a heat-releasing plate, a resin film stacked on a surface of the heat-releasing plate, an electronic component embedded in the first resin film and partially in contact with the heat-releasing plate, and a wiring pattern embedded in the surface of the first resin film opposite the heat-releasing plate. The wiring pattern forms a circuit in combination with the electronic component.
