Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a component carrier includes providing a known-good layer stack comprising an already formed electrically conductive connection structure and a known-good cavity, and mounting a known-good component on the already formed electrically conductive connection structure in the cavity.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 6 , comprising at least one of the following features:\n wherein the method further includes stacking a plurality of component carriers manufactured by providing a known-good layer stack comprising an already formed electrically conductive connection structure and a known-good cavity, mounting a known-good component on the already formed electrically conductive connection structure in the cavity on top of one another; wherein the method comprises, prior to the mounting, individually testing the layer stack, the cavity, and the component for compliance with at least one quality criterion, and classifying the layer stack, the cavity, and the component as a known-good layer stack, a known-good cavity, and a known-good component, respectively, when the tested layer stack, cavity, and component, respectively, meets the at least one quality criterion, otherwise rejecting the tested layer stack, cavity, and component, respectively; wherein the method further comprises at least partially filling a gap of the cavity between the layer stack and the component with a dielectric filling medium by one of molding, laminating, dispensing, and printing; wherein the method further comprises forming an arrangement of electrically conductive pillars on one main surface of the component carrier and mounting at least one of at least one further component and at least one further component carrier on the arrangement of pillars; wherein the method further comprises forming an arrangement of conductive elements on one main surface of the component; wherein the method further comprises mounting the known-good component directly on the already formed electrically conductive connection structure in the cavity so as to establish an electrically conductive coupling between the component and the electrically conductive connection structure; wherein the method further comprises forming the layer stack by connecting at least one electrically conductive layer structure forming the electrically conductive connection structure, and at least one electrically insulating layer structure; wherein the method comprises forming the electrically conductive connection structure for providing an electric coupling both within a plane corresponding to a respective layer structure of the stack and a direction perpendicular to the plane.
