  • Patent number: 8914974
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for integrating an electronic component into a printed circuit board, whereby the electronic component (4) comprising contacts (6) oriented towards an insulating layer (1) which is fixed to a laminate consisting of a conductive layer (2) and a insulating layer (1). Once the component (4) has been fixed to the insulating layer (1), at least one hole or perforation (8, 11) corresponding to the contacts (6) of the component (4) are formed in the conducting layer (2) and in the insulating layer (1), the contacts come into contact with the conducting layer (2), enabling a reliable integration or embedding of an electronic component (4) into a printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20130126091
    Abstract: In the case of an adhesive for fixing an electronic component on a circuit board and/or for embedding an electronic component into a circuit board, the electronic component to be fixed and/or embedded being fixed by means of an adhesive bond on a ply or layer of a circuit board, and fixing optionally being followed by jacketing by plies, and/or by covering by at least one further ply, an epoxy resin-based adhesive is selected, which has at least one added additive to adjust the surface tension and/or viscosity, especially a defoamer and/or an additive for adjusting the levelling properties, which can achieve reliable fixing of a component, especially with avoidance of cavities or air inclusions below the surface of the component to be fixed. Also provided are a method and a use.

  • Publication number: 20110203107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for integrating an electronic component into a printed circuit board, whereby the electronic component (4) comprising contacts (6) oriented towards the insulating layer (1) is fixed to a laminate at least consisting of a conducting or conductive layer (2) and a non-conducting or insulating layer (1). According to the invention, once the component (4) has been fixed to the insulating layer (1), holes or perforations (8, 11) corresponding to the contacts (6) of the component (4) are formed in the conducting layer (2) and in the insulating layer (1), the contacts coming into contact with the conducting layer (2), enabling a reliable integration or embedding of an electronic component (4) into a printed circuit board.
