  • Patent number: 10085347
    Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a circuit board containing a component and circuit board containing a component. The invention is based on first manufacturing (101-102 or 101-103) an intermediate product, which contains the insulator layer of the circuit board and the components, which are set in place inside the insulator layer, in such a way that the contact elements of the components face the surface of the intermediate product. After this, the intermediate product is transferred to the circuit-board manufacturing line, on which a suitable number of conducting-pattern layers and, if necessary, insulator layers are manufactured (104) on one or both sides of the intermediate product, in such a way that, when manufacturing the first conducting-pattern layer, the conductor material forms an electrical contact with the contact elements of the components. Alternatively, stages (101-105) can also be performed on a single manufacturing line.
