Thick film packages with common wafer aperture placement

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A multilayer thick film package for housing a microchip is formed from a series of insulating wafers. A wafer adapted to occupy an outer position on the package has a first series of apertures positioned to correspond with the placement of pins on the package, and wafers adapted to occupy inner positions on the package each have a second series of apertures. The second series of apertures is comprised of apertures that correspond in position to the first series of apertures, but is also comprised of additional apertures. Conductive material in the additional apertures allows electrical connection to be made within the package to the conductive lines that extend from the pins of the package …
