  • Patent number: 9899137
    Abstract: The subject matter of the invention relates to a method of producing a coil integrated in a substrate, using the following steps: creating the cavity in a substrate, said cavity having an open end which interrupts a surface of the substrate, introducing a paste containing ferromagnetic particles into the cavity so as to produce a coil core, closing the cavity by applying a cover layer so as to bridge the interruption in the surface of the substrate, introducing first winding portions of the coil which are vertical with respect to the surface, with a plurality or all of the first winding portions passing through the coil core contained inside the cavity, and applying second winding portions of the coil onto the surfaces of the substrate, with the second winding portions contacting the first winding portions so as to create the windings of the coil.

  • Patent number: 8020288
    Abstract: In a method for producing an electronic subassembly, at least one electronic component is fixed in place on an insulating layer of a conductive foil in a first step, the conductive foil with the electronic component is laminated onto a circuit board substrate, and a circuit track structure is then developed by structuring the conductive foil. The expansion coefficient of the insulating layer lies between the expansion coefficient of the circuit board substrate and the expansion coefficient of the circuit track structure, and/or electronic components that require small passages for contacting with the circuit track structure are pressed deeper into the insulating layer than electronic components that require larger passages in the insulating layer.
