Patent ID: 7814649

Claim:
A method of making a circuitized substrate, said method comprising: providing a single electrically conductive sheet of substantially planar configuration having first and second opposing surfaces, said single electrically conductive sheet including at least one side edge portion comprising a first plurality of openings; positioning a first dielectric layer on said first opposing surface of said single electrically conductive sheet; substantially filling selected ones of said first plurality of openings of said one side edge portion with a portion of said first dielectric layer; forming a second plurality of openings in said first dielectric layer; positioning a second dielectric layer on said second opposing surface of said single electrically conductive sheet; and substantially filling the remaining ones of said second plurality of openings of said one side edge portion with a portion of said second dielectric layer, said portions of said first and second dielectric layers providing a substantially solid dielectric covering over a plurality of the contiguous formed open segments of said at least one side edge portion.
