Patent ID: 8148201

Claim:
A method for constructing an electronic device, comprising: disposing a plurality of first electronic components on at least a first side or a second side of a first substrate to form a first hybrid circuit, disposing a first set of interconnect points on the first side of the first substrate and electrically connected with the first hybrid circuit; disposing a plurality of second electronic components on at least a first side or a second side of a second substrate to form a second hybrid circuit, disposing a second set of interconnect points on the first side of the second substrate and electrically connected with the second hybrid circuit; forming one or more planar interconnect structures with first and second planar sections by forming one or more conductive traces on the face of the first planar section that traverse between two opposite edges of the first planar section and bonding the face of the second planar section to the face of the first planar section to cover the conductive traces and leave the ends of the conductive traces exposed at the opposite edges of the planar interconnect structure; disposing one or more of the planar interconnect structures between the first sides of the first and second substrates, wherein the two opposite edges of the planar interconnect structure contact the first sides of the first and second substrates such that the exposed ends of the conductive traces are aligned with the first and second sets of interconnection points to form conductive paths therebetween and electrically connect the first and second hybrid circuits.
