  • Publication number: 20080196930
    Abstract: This publication discloses a method for manufacturing a circuit-board structure. According to the method, a conductor pattern (13) is made, and contact openings are made in it for a component's (16) electrical contacts. After this, the component (16) is attached relative to the conductor pattern (13), in such a way that the contact areas or contact bumps of the component lie next to the contact openings. After this, an electrically conductive material is introduced to the contact openings, in order to form electrical contacts between the conductor pattern (13) and the component (16).

  • Patent number: 7299546
    Abstract: An electronic module and a method for manufacturing an electronic module, in which an installation base is used, which includes an insulating-material layer (1) and a conductive layer on the surface of the insulating-material layer. The conductive layer also covers the installation cavity of a component (6). The component (6) is set in the installation cavity, in such a way that the contact zones face towards the conductive layer and electrical contacts are formed between the contact zones of the component (6) and the conductive layer. After this, conductive patterns (14) are formed from the conductive layer, to which the to which the component (6) is attached.

  • Patent number: 7294529
    Abstract: This publication discloses a method, in which the semiconductor components forming part of an electronic circuit, or at least some of them, are embedded in a base, such as a circuit board, during the manufacture of the base, when part of the base structure is, as it were, manufactured around the semiconductor components. According to the invention, through-holes for the semiconductor components are made in the base, in such a way that the holes extend between the first and second surface of the base. After the making of the holes, a polymer film is spread over the second surface of the base structure, in such a way that the polymer film also covers the through-holes made for the semiconductor components from the side of the second surface of the base structure. Before the hardening, or after the partial hardening of the polymer film, the semiconductor components are placed in the holes made in the base, from the direction of the first surface of the base.

  • Publication number: 20070131349
    Abstract: This publication discloses an electronic module and a method for manufacturing an electronic module, in which a component (6) is glued (5) to the surface of a conductive layer, from which conductive layer conductive patterns (14) are later formed. A conductive adhesive, preferably an anisotropically conductive adhesive, is used in the gluing. After gluing the component (6), an insulating-material layer (1), which surrounds the component (6) attached to the conductive layer, is formed on, or attached to the surface of the conductive layer. After this, conductive patterns (14) are made from the conductive layer, to the surface of which the component (6) is glued.

  • Patent number: 6991966
    Abstract: The invention includes a method, in which at least some of the semiconductor components forming part of an electronic circuit are embedded in a base, such as a circuit board, during the manufacture of the base. Thus, the base structure is basically manufactured around the semiconductor component. According to the invention, at least one conductive pattern and through holes for the semiconductor components are made in the base. Thereafter, the semiconductor components are placed in the holes in alignment with the conductive pattern. The semiconductor components are attached to the structure of the base, and one or more conductive pattern layers are made in the base in such a way that at least one conductive pattern forms an electrical contact with the contact areas of the surface of the semiconductor component.
