Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a method of embedding a discrete component in a substrate. The method includes forming a cavity in the substrate. The method further includes inserting a discrete component into the cavity, wherein the discrete component comprises a top terminal and a bottom terminal. The method further includes positioning the discrete component within the cavity such that the top terminal is above the bottom terminal and below a front face of the substrate. The method further includes forming an intermediate conductive material within the cavity and over the top terminal. The method further includes forming a top conductive material over the intermediate conductive material such that the top conductive material is electrically coupled through the intermediate conductive material to the top terminal.
