Printed circuit board having embedded component

A printed circuit board comprising:

• at least one insulating layer and at least one patterned conductive layer with at least one conductor path disposed atop the at least one insulating layer;
• at least one recess formed in at least one of the at least one insulating layer;
• at least one component including a plurality of contacts having spaces therebetween, the at least one component embedded in an adhesive layer disposed within the recess, wherein each of the plurality of contacts having an end face distal from the at least one component;
• and
• a plurality of conductive connections interconnecting the plurality of contacts of the component and the at least one conductor path of the patterned conductive layer;
• wherein:
• the adhesive layer fully encloses all surfaces of the component except a surface from which the plurality of contacts extend;
• the spaces between each of the plurality of contacts of the component are filled with a resist;
• and
• a part of an additional conductive layer is arranged on a part of the resist;
• wherein
• the additional conductive layer being different from the patterned conductive layer and different from the plurality of conductive connections.
