Patent ID: 11546990

Abstract:
A component carrier with an electrically insulating layer structure has opposed main surfaces, a through-hole, and an electrically conductive bridge structure connecting opposing sidewalls delimiting the through-hole. The sidewalls have a first tapering portion extending from a first main surface and a second tapering portion extending from a second main surface. A first demarcation surface faces the first main surface and a second demarcation surface faces the second main surface. A central bridge plane extends parallel to the first main surface and the second main surface and is at a vertical center between a lowermost point of the first demarcation surface and an uppermost point of the second demarcation surface. A first intersection point is between the central bridge plane and one of the sidewalls delimiting the through hole. A length of a shortest distance from the first intersection point to the first demarcation surface is at least 8 μm.
