Patent ID: 6991966

Claim:
A method for embedding a component in a base and for forming electrical contact with the component, the method comprising talking a baseboard as the base, making a hole in the baseboard, placing a component in the hole, the component having, on its first surface, contact areas or contact protrusions for creating electrical contacts, securing the component in place in the hole made in the baseboard, making an insulating layer on at least one of a first and second surface of the baseboard, in such a way that the insulating layer covers the component, making contact openings for the component in the insulating layer, and making conductors to the contact openings and on top of the insulating layer, in order to form electrical contacts with the component, characterized by making conductive patterns on the baseboard, selecting the position of the hole and aligning the component in relation to the conductive patterns made on the baseboard, and after making the hole laminating a tape or a tape-like film on the second surface of the baseboard, placing the component in the hole made in the baseboard from the first-surface side of the baseboard, so that the first surface of the component lies against the tape or tape-like film and is substantially on the same level as the second surface of the baseboard, securing the component in place in the hole made in the baseboard by filling the hole with a filler material, and after securing the component, removing the tape or tape-like film laminated on the second surface of the baseboard.
