Abstract

A multi-metal layer interconnect tape is provided. The tape is not supported by a dielectric carrier. A thin dielectric adhesive layer separates at least two self supporting metal foil layers. In one embodiment of the invention, conductive vias electrically interconnect leads formed in a first metal foil layer with ground and power circuits formed in a second metal foil layer. The metal foil layers are in close proximity so the vias have a low aspect ratio. The vias may be readily coated with continuous film of a conductive metal and are much easier to clean than conventional vias having significantly higher aspect ratios.
