Abstract

This publication discloses an electronic module, comprising a first conductive pattern layer and a first insulating-material layer on at least one surface of the first conductive pattern layer, at least one opening in the first insulating-material layer that extends through the first insulating-material layer, a component having a contact surface with contact terminals, the component being arranged at least partially within the opening with its contact terminals electrically coupled to the first conductive pattern layer, a second insulating-material layer provided on the first insulating-material layer, and a conductive pattern embedded between the first and second insulating material layers. This publication additionally discloses a method for manufacturing an electronic module.
