Patent ID: 7286366

Claim:
A multilayer substrate assembly having at least one embedded component in a hole among a plurality of substrate cores, comprising: a plurality of pre-processed substrates stacked upon each other, each pre-processed substrate having a core dielectric, patterned conductive surfaces on opposing sides of the core dielectric, and at least one hole in each of at least two adjacently stacked pre-processed substrates among the plurality of pre-processed substrates such that at least two holes are substantially aligned on top of each other forming a single hole; a processed adhesive layer between top and bottom surfaces of respective pre-processed substrates among the plurality of pre-processed substrates; and an embedded component having at least one conductive termination placed in the single hole forming a gap between at least the embedded component and a peripheral wall of the single hole, wherein the processed adhesive layer fills the gap formed between the embedded component and the peripheral wall of the single hole to create the multilayer substrate assembly having the embedded component cross-secting the plurality of pre-processed substrates.
