Patent ID: 7361585

Claim:
A method of forming a multi-layer electronic device comprising: (a) vapor depositing a first conductor layer ( 312 ) on an insulative substrate ( 212 ) by way of a first shadow mask; (b) vapor depositing a first insulator layer ( 314 ) on the first conductor layer ( 312 ) by way of a second shadow mask, the first insulator layer ( 314 ) having at least one via hole ( 316 ) therein; (c) vapor depositing a first conductive filler ( 320 a ) in the via hole ( 316 ) of the first insulator layer ( 314 ) by way of a third shadow mask such that the first conductive filler ( 320 a ) fills the via hole 316 ; and (d) vapor depositing a second conductor layer ( 318 ) on the first insulator layer ( 314 ) by way of a fourth shadow mask.
