A method for fabricating a circuit board comprises preparing an elastomeric substrate having a roughened surface. The elastomeric substrate is stretched before an electrically conductive material is electrolessly deposited onto the roughened surface. A suitable amount of electrically conductive material is deposited onto the elastomeric substrate before the elastomeric substrate is released from its stretch.

The present invention relates to an electronic module. In particular, to an electronic module which includes one or more components embedded in an installation base. The electronic module can be a module like a circuit board, which includes several components, which are connected to each other electrically, through conducting structures manufactured in the module. The components can be passive components, microcircuits, semiconductor components, or other similar components. Components that are typically connected to a circuit board form one group of components. Another important group of components are components that are typically packaged for connection to a circuit board. The electronic modules to which the invention relates can, of course, also include other types of components.

A method for manufacturing a circuit board comprises: a first single-sided board and an insulating structure are provided. The first single-sided board is pressed to the insulating structure and covers opposite side surfaces of the insulating structure to form a first laminated board. A second single-sided board and a third single-sided board are provided. The second single-sided board is pressed to the third single-sided board and covers opposite side walls of the third single-sided board to form a second laminated board. An inner wiring layer is formed by the second laminated board. The second laminated board with the inner wiring layer and the first laminated board are pressed to form an intermediate structure. Outer wiring layers are formed by the intermediate structure. Covering films are formed on surfaces of the outer wiring layers. Electromagnetic interference shielding layers are formed on the covering films.
