Sealing cap for electronic component

Abstract

An electronic component cap for producing a package having a sealed region by being bonded to a base, having a brazing material-fused surface to which a brazing material is fused and a sealing surface corresponding to the sealed region. The brazing material-fused surface has a non-flat work surface formed by plastic working, and a ratio (Sc/Sf) of a surface area (Sc) of the brazing material-fused surface per unit area to a surface area (Sf) of the sealing surface per unit area satisfies 1<Sc/Sf≤1.6. The cross-sectional shape of the work surface may be one of various shapes such as a groove shape, an approximately V shape, and a circular-arc shape. The cap has a good wettability when a brazing material is fused. Also, the brazing material does not wet-spread excessively when the brazing material is melted again for sealing work.
