Abstract

The present invention relates to multi-layer ceramic packaging of hybrid micro-electronic devices, including those for implantable medical devices. The invention permits size reduction and design simplification in such packaging by eliminating the need for electrolytic or electroless plating, and by eliminating or substantially eliminating the shrinkage variation typically associated with surface metallization techniques.
