A device includes comprising first and second printed circuit boards. Walls couple the first and second printed circuit boards to each other and define a first cavity between the first and second printed circuit boards. Electric conductors associated with the walls electrically connect the first and second printed circuit boards. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a first surface of the first integrated circuit board in the first cavity. The integrated circuit chip is electrically connected to conductive tracks of the first surface of the first printed circuit board. Surface-mounted components are mounted on top of and in contact with conductive tracks of a first surface of the second printed circuit board. The first surfaces of the first and second printed circuit boards are arranged facing towards each other. The first and second printed circuit boards may form rigid components of a flex-rigid type printed circuit board.

Electronic device

An integrated circuit chip includes a front face having an electrical connection pad. An overmolded encapsulation block encapsulates the integrated circuit chip and includes a front layer at least partially covering a front face of the integrated circuit chip. A through-hole the encapsulation block is located above the electrical connection pad of the integrated circuit chip. A wall of the through-hole is covered with an inner metal layer that is joined to the front pad of the integrated circuit chip. A front metal layer covers a local zone of the front face of the front layer, with the front metal layer being joined to the inner metal layer to form an electrical connection. The inner metal layer and the front metal layer are attached or anchored to activated additive particles that are included in the material of the encapsulation block.
