1. A method of manufacturing an electronic component comprising:
forming a main trench from a side of a first surface of a semiconductor substrate;
burying a sacrifice film in the main trench;
forming an electrical mechanical element including a movable portion above the first surface of the semiconductor substrate so that the movable portion is arranged above the main trench;
grinding the semiconductor substrate from a side of a second surface of the semiconductor substrate, which is opposite to the first surface, until the sacrifice film is exposed; and
forming a cavity by removing the sacrifice film inside the main trench from the side of the second surface,
wherein forming the main trench includes forming another trench used for an electric conduction plug in the semiconductor substrate, and burying the sacrifice film includes burying an electric conduction film in the trench used for the electric conduction plug by using the electric conduction film as the sacrifice film.
