Abstract

A multi-layer electronic device can be formed to include an insulative substrate (212), a first vapor deposited conductor layer (312) on the insulative substrate (212), a first vapor deposited insulator layer (314) on the first conductor layer (312), the first insulator layer (314) having at least one via hole (316) therein, and a vapor deposited conductive filler (320) in the via hole (316) of the first insulator layer (314). Desirably, the conductive filler (320) is deposited in the via hole (316) of the first insulator layer (314) such that the surface of the conductive filler (320) opposite the first conductor layer (312) is substantially planar with the surface of the first insulator layer (314) opposite the first conductor layer (312).
