Abstract
Manufacturing method and circuit module, which comprises an insulator layer and, inside the insulator layer, at least one component, which comprises contact areas, the material of which contains a first metal. On the surface of the insulator layer are conductors, which comprise at least a first layer and a second layer, in such a way that at least the second layer contains a second metal. The circuit module comprises contact elements between the contact areas and the conductors for forming electrical contacts. The contact elements, for their part, comprise, on the surface of the material of the contact area, an intermediate layer, which contains a third metal, in such a way that the first, second, and third metals are different metals and the contact surface area (A), between the intermediate layer and the contact area is less that the surface area (A) of the contact area.
