Abstract
Abstract Electronic circuit device ( 100 ) is structured so that a substrate module unit that are formed by stacking substrate modules made of a first resin sheet with electronic component ( 190 ) embedded thereinto is inserted into housing ( 150 ) including connecting terminal ( 120 ), control circuit ( 130 ), and first wiring pattern ( 140 ), where the substrate modules are connected to each other electrically and mechanically. This electronic circuit device ( 100 ) dispenses with a mother substrate. Further, with slimming down of a substrate module, a substrate module unit with a large number of substrate modules stacked can be loaded in a limited packaging space, thus mounting greater storage capacity and higher functionality.
