Patent number: 10276482Abstract: A method for manufacturing a circuit carrier for electronic components includes making available a carrier material layer made of an electrically insulating material and having at least one connecting layer which is applied at least to a first and/or second surface of the carrier material layer and has in each case a predefined layer thickness. Each connecting layer has a number of electrically conductive connections with a predefined conductor track width. At least some of the connections are strengthened by plasma spraying, at least in certain sections, with additional electrically conductive material. As a result, a greater layer thickness than the predefined layer thickness and/or a larger conductor track width than the predefined conductor track width is obtained. Furthermore, a circuit carrier for electronic components is specified.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Detlev Bagung, Thomas Riepl

Patent number: 8624130Abstract: A circuit board has a grown metal layer in a flexible zone. A circuit board has a first part, a second part and a recess in the circuit board that is arranged between the first part and the second part. A thickness of the circuit board reduced in the region of the recess. The first part can be pivoted relative to the second part as a result of the recess. The flexibility of the circuit board is improved in the range of the recess by a metal layer applied on a surface section of the circuit board in the recess by deposition. Furthermore, EMC problems can be reduced by the metal layer on a side wall of the recess and electrical contacts to conductor path metallization layers can be created.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventor: Detlev Bagung
