When manufacturing an electronic component having a flip chip or a surface mount component mounted on a sheet substrate and being covered with a shield cover, the above shield cover is dipped into cream solder and placed on the above sheet substrate after the above cream solder is attached to the peripheral edge sides of the above shield cover, and then the shield cover is fixed to the sheet substrate by reflow process. With such manufacturing, it becomes possible to efficiently fix the shield cover to the sheet substrate. Also, the shield cover can securely be fixed against the bend of the sheet substrate produced during the reflow.
