Abstract
Various circuit boards and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes coupling an electrically non-functional component to a surface of a first circuit board. The electrically non-functional component has a first elevation. The surface of the circuit board is adapted to have a semiconductor chip mounted thereon. An electrically functional component is mounted to the surface inward from the electrically non-functional component. The electrically functional component has a second elevation less than the first elevation.
