  • Patent number: 11335614
    Abstract: In an electric component embedded structure, a first electrode terminal provided on a first main surface includes an intra-area terminal, and the intra-area terminal is electrically connected to an overlap portion of an overlap wiring in a formation area of an electric component. Accordingly, a decrease in mounting area of the electric component embedded structure is achieved. The intra-area terminal can be electrically connected to a second electrode terminal provided on a second main surface via a first via-conductor, the overlap wiring, and a second via-conductor. The intra-area terminal is connected to a wiring (an overlap wiring) of a first insulating layer without additionally providing a rewiring layer causing an increase in thickness, and the increase in thickness is curbed, whereby a decrease in size of the electric component embedded structure is achieved.
