Component Carrier With Protruding Thermally Conductive Tongue and Corresponding Method of Manufacturing

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a component carrier includes (i) forming a stack having at least one electrically conductive layer structure and/or at least one electrically insulating layer structure; (ii) assembling a component to the stack; and (iii) forming a thermally conductive tongue having an embedded portion embedded in the stack and having an exposed portion protruding beyond the stack, where a first width of the tongue in the embedded portion is different from a second width of the tongue in the exposed portion. A corresponding component carrier includes analogous features.
