Abstract:
1. A method of making a connection component including the steps of: removing portions of an outer electrically conductive layer covering an outer surface of a dielectric layer and covering electrically conductive connectors on said dielectric layer so as to remove at least some of said outer electrically conductive layer at pad locations and leave at least some of said outer layer at post locations and thereby form pads at said pad locations and posts at said post locations, said pads and said posts incorporating said connectors, said pads having downwardly facing surfaces exposed at said outer surface, said posts projecting downwardly from said outer surface of said dielectric layer and projecting downwardly beyond said surfaces of said pads; and treating an inner electrically conductive layer remote from said outer electrically conductive layer and connected to said pads so as to remove portions of said inner electrically conductive layer and form electrically conductive traces connecting at least some of said pads with at least some of said posts.
