You don't say what you are burying it in?

Of course if everything goes "in" there will be no "on" and the board
with have a smaller footprint and become a "cube".

If you do bury active devices (which is actually not an unreasonable
thing to do since in COB you "bury" the die in glob top) you will have
to work out how you are going to handle the thermal dissipation.

Subject: [TN] embedded components

Hello-

I've read about capacitors and resistors buried in PCBs.  I'm wondering
if
it's possible to do the same with diodes and transistors?

If not, why not?

I'm not in the electronics industry, I'm a mechanical designer.  If we
were
able to do something like an embedded semiconductor, it could really
help
with a problem I'm working on.  Google only gives a ton of stuff
regarding
firmware.

TIA!
