Abstract
A component carrier having a stack with at least one electrically insulating layer structure and/or at least one electrically conductive layer structure, wherein the stack includes: i) a central rigid portion; ii) a first flexible portion, extending from a first side of the central rigid portion; and iii) a second flexible portion, extending from a second side of the central rigid portion. The first flexible portion extends from a first vertical level from the central rigid portion that is different from a second vertical level from which the second flexible portion extends from said central rigid portion.
Claims18
A component carrier having a stack comprising at least one electrically insulating layer structure and/or at least one electrically conductive layer structure, the stack comprising:
- a central rigid portion;
- a first flexible portion, extending from a first side of the central rigid portion;
- and
- a second flexible portion, extending from a second side of the central rigid portion;
- wherein the first flexible portion extends from a first vertical level from the central rigid portion that is different from a second vertical level from which the second flexible portion extends from the central rigid portion;
- wherein the first flexible portion and/or the second flexible portion comprises at least one flexible layer structure, and
- wherein the flexible layer structure comprises a flexible solder resist layer structure.
A method of manufacturing a component carrier, the method comprising:
- providing a stack comprising at least one electrically insulating layer structure and/or at least one electrically conductive layer structure, and a central rigid portion;
- forming a first flexible portion, extending from a first side of the central rigid portion;
- and
- forming a second flexible portion, extending from a second side of the central rigid portion;
- wherein the first flexible portion extends from a first vertical level from the central rigid portion that is different from a second vertical level from which the second flexible portion extends from the central rigid portion;
- wherein the first flexible portion and/or the second flexible portion comprises at least one flexible layer structure, and
- wherein the flexible layer structure comprises a flexible solder resist layer structure.
