Non-planar printed circuit board with embedded electronic components

摘要

A non-planar printed circuit board has an interior surface and an exterior surface. Between the interior surface and exterior surfaces are layers of conductive and dielectric materials. Passive and active electrical components are embedded within the interior and exterior surfaces. A hollow region is defined by the interior surface of the non-planar circuit board. The non-planar printed circuit board is manufactured on a mandrel having a non-planar shape such as, for example, a cylinder or sphere so as to form a hollow, curved non-planar structure.

1. A circuit board having embedded electronic components, comprising:
a multiple layered region having at least one conductive layer and at least one dielectric layer, said multiple layered region having an outer surface and an interior surface; an empty space defined by said interior surface of said multiple layered region, said empty space being continuously surrounded by said interior surface; and at least one electrical component connected to said at least one conductive layer, said at least one electrical component being embedded in a non-planar layer of said multiple layered region such that said at least one electrical component is positioned between said outer surface and said interior surface, with said outer surface and said interior surface being non-planar.
