Abstract
A three dimensional thin-film interconnector is fabricated by depositing a dielectric layer onto the surface of a substrate, depositing a layer of conductive material onto the dielectric layer to form a signal plane, depositing a dielectric layer onto the surface of the signal plane, forming a plurality of through holes in the dielectric layer that extend to the signal plane, and filling the through holes with an electrically conductive material to form vias. The sequence of forming a signal plane, depositing a dielectric layer, forming a plurality of through holes, and filling the through holes is repeated until a predetermined number of signal planes and a predetermined arrangement of vias are obtained. The through holes are formed at locations in the dielectric layers corresponding to both predetermined electrical connections and the vias in a preceding dielectric layer. The signal planes are formed at different locations on the substrate. The sequence of signal planes and dielectric layers at the same location on the substrate form a signal plane set which defines a connector. Contact pads are deposited onto the surface of a final dielectric layer and electrically connect with …
