  • Patent number: 10720405
    Abstract: A semifinished product includes a base structure, wafer structures, a cover structure and a further cover structure. The base structure has an electrically conductive layer and/or an electrically insulating layer. The wafer structures are on the base structure and have electronic components. The cover structure has at least one further layer and covers the wafer structures and part of the base structure. Separate electronic components are arranged on the cover structure and a further cover structure is provided to cover the separate electronic components and part of the cover structure. A component carrier includes a bare die with pads. The bare die is laminated between a base laminate and a cover laminate and has a lateral semiconductor surface being exposed from the base laminate and the cover laminate. A redistribution layer increases spacing of external electric contacts relative to spacing between pads of the bare die.

  • Patent number: 9750134
    Abstract: A method for producing a printed circuit board (13, 15, 16) with multilayer subareas in sections, characterized by the following steps: a) providing at least one conducting foil (1, 1?) and application of a dielectric insulating foil (3, 3?) to at least one subarea of the conducting foil; b) applying a structure of conducting paths (4, 4?) to the insulating layer (3, 3?); c) providing one further printed circuit board structure; d) joining of the further printed circuit board structure with the conducting foil (1, 1?) plus insulating layer (3, 3?) and conducting paths (4, 4?) by interposing a prepreg layer (5, 85; 18, 18?), and e) laminating the parts joined in step d) under pressing pressure and heat; and a printed circuit board produced according to this method.
