Systems and methods that enable printing of conformal materials and other waterproof coating materials at high resolution. An initial printing of a material on edges of a component is performed at high resolution in a first printing step, and a subsequent printing of the material on remaining surfaces of the component is applied in a second printing step, with or without curing of the material printed on the edges between the two printing steps. The printing of the material may be performed by a laser-assisted deposition or using another dispensing system to achieve a high resolution printing of the material and a high printing speed.

A method for contacting and rewiring an electronic component embedded in a PCB in the following manner is disclosed. A first permanent resist layer is applied to one contact side of the PCB. The first permanent resist layer is structured to produce exposures in the area of contacts of the electronic component. A second permanent resist layer is applied onto the structured first permanent resist layer. The second permanent resist layer is structured to expose the exposures in the area of the contacts and to produce exposures in line with the desired conductor tracks. The exposures are chemically coated with copper the copper is electric-plated to the exposures. Excess copper in the areas between the exposures is removed.

A printed circuit board for mounting electrical components thereupon include: a first side; a second side opposite the first side; electrical connection points disposed on the surface of an exterior edge of the printed circuit board; and wherein the exterior edge of the printed circuit board is between the first side and the second side. Further a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board for mounting electrical components thereupon includes the steps of disposing interconnect structures within the printed circuit board adjacent to at least one edge of the printed circuit board; and removing material from the printed circuit board edge to expose the interconnect structures such that the exposed interconnect structures correspond to a component connection footprint.

A component-embedded substrate includes: a plurality of insulating layers each including a wiring pattern formed on one surface; an embedded component including a connection terminal; and a plurality of vias that electrically connect the connection terminal to the wiring patterns adjacent to each other in a lamination direction. The plurality of insulating layers is laminated on the connection terminal. Each of the plurality of vias is composed of a via hole formed in the respective insulating layer of the plurality of the insulating layers and a conductive material provided in the via hole. One of the plurality of vias is a connection via directly connected to the connection terminal. Another of the plurality of vias is a first adjacent via adjacent to the connection via in the lamination direction. The first adjacent via is connected to the wiring pattern formed on a surface of a top insulating layer.

The present disclosure generally relates to printed circuit boards or printed circuit board assemblies for fiber optic communications. In one example, an optoelectronic assembly may include a printed circuit board including a laser-roughened area, at least one optoelectronic component coupled to a surface of the printed circuit board, and an optical component attached to the printed circuit board. The coupling area may be defined by the optical component contacting the printed circuit board, and the laser-roughened area may be positioned entirely within the coupling area defined by the optical component contacting the printed circuit board.
