Abstract:
1. An integration area providing interconnections, comprising: a plurality of component connection receptacles; a plurality of first conductive elements extending from each component connection receptacle; a plurality of second conductive elements, wherein each second conductive element extends across at least one first conductive element; and a plurality of connections between said first conductive elements and said second conductive elements to provide interconnections, wherein the plurality of connections are established at those locations at which said second conductive elements extend across said first conductive elements, wherein said first and second conductive elements each comprise an insulative portion and a plurality of conductive portions, wherein the plurality of interconnections between first and second conductive elements are established by interconnections between corresponding conductive portions of said first and second conductive elements at respective intermediate locations at which a conductive portion of said second conductive element extends across at least one conductive portion of said first conductive element such that a conductive portion of each first and second conductive element includes an elongate portion extending outwardly from both sides of the corresponding conductive portion at the intermediate location at which an interconnection is established.
