Patent ID: 8659134

Claim:
A multi-chip package, comprising a conductor pattern and insulation, and, inside the insulation a first component having contact terminals facing towards the conductor pattern and conductively connected to the conductor pattern; and a second component having contact terminals facing towards said conductor pattern and conductively connected to said same conductor pattern, the second component located such that the first component is located at least partly between the second component and the conductor pattern; and contact elements each including a metal core, which is metallurgically of the same piece with the conductor pattern such that the metal core joins continuously and without an interface to the material of the conductor pattern; wherein: the contact elements connect at least said contact terminals of the second component conductively to the conductor pattern, the first component and the second component are directly connected to said conductor pattern via the contact elements, the first component and the second component are on the same side of the conductor pattern, and the first component and the second component are embedded in an insulator layer of the multi-chip package.
