Patent ID: 7091066

Claim:
A method of making a circuitized substrate, said method comprising: providing a first dielectric layer having a first surface; forming a first pattern of conductors and a second pattern of conductors spaced from said first pattern and electrically coupled thereto on said first surface of said first dielectric layer; forming a common conductive line and a plurality of second conductive lines on said first surface of said first dielectric layer, each of said second conductive lines electrically connecting one of said conductors of said second pattern of conductors to said common conductive line; positioning a second dielectric layer over said first and second patterns of conductors and common conductive line; providing openings in said second dielectric layer using a laser to expose at least portions of said second conductive lines which electrically couple said second pattern of conductors to said common conductive lines; and thereafter severing said portions of said second conductive lines which electrically couple said second pattern of conductors to said common conductive line.
