Abstract
A multilayer circuit board includes multiple conductor path planes arranged one above another and separated by insulating material layers. The multilayer circuit board includes at least one electronic component (in particular an LCCC) placed on one of the two outer sides of the multilayer circuit board. The multilayer circuit board includes at least one core substrate arranged in the multilayer circuit board between the outer insulating material layers. The core substrate largely adapts the thermal expansion properties of the multilayer circuit board, at least in the coverage area of the electronic component, to the thermal expansion properties of the component. In order to achieve a reduction in the weight of the multilayer circuit board, an inner layer portion, equipped with a recess, is provided between the two outer insulating material layers. The lateral extent of the recess in the inner layer portion is confined approximately to the coverage area of the electronic component, and the core substrate is introduced into the recess. Advantageously, the inner layer portion can also receive multiple conductor path planes separated by insulating material layers, thus achieving a further reduction in the size of the circuit board.
