Patent ID: 7989944

Claim:
A circuit board comprising an insulating material layer having a first side and a second side, at least one first conductive pattern layer on the first side of the insulating material layer, at least one of the first conductive pattern layers defining a first metal plate, at least one second conductive pattern layer on the second side of the insulating material layer, at least one of the second conductive pattern layers defining a second metal plate, a component inside the insulating material layer and between the first and second metal plates, the component having a first surface facing towards the second metal plate, and contact areas on the first surface, a hardened insulating polymer layer between the first surface of the component and at least one conductive pattern of said at least one second conductive pattern layer, and contact openings in the hardened insulating polymer layer and conductors in the contact openings for forming electrical contacts between the contact areas of the component and the at least one second conductive pattern layer or layers.
