Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit structure comprising: a plurality of insulator layers connected to each other and forming a laminated structure; via openings within each of said insulator layers; and conductive via material within said via openings, said laminated structure having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite said top surface, said plurality of insulator layers being between said top surface and said bottom surface of said laminated structure, said conductive via material within corresponding ones of said via openings of adjacent ones of said insulator layers being electrically connected to form continuous electrical via paths between said top surface and said bottom surface of said laminated structure, within each of said continuous electrical via paths, said via openings being positioned relative to each other to form a diagonal structural path of said conductive via material through said laminated structure, said corresponding ones of said via openings of said adjacent ones of said insulator layers partially overlapping each other, said diagonal structural path being non-perpendicular to said top surface and said bottom surface.
