An electrical component is provided by metallizing holes that extend through a glass substrate. The electrical component can be fabricated by forcing a suspension of electrically conductive particles suspended in a liquid medium through the holes. The suspension can be forced into the holes under an air pressure differential such as a vacuum force, a centrifugal force, or an electrostatic force. The liquid medium in the holes can be dried, and the particles can be sintered. The particles can further be packed in the hole. Alternatively or additionally, the particles can be pressed against the outer surfaces of the substrate to produce buttons.

A method to reduce the number and type of processing steps to achieve conductive lines in the planes of a substrate concurrently interconnecting conductor through the substrate, by forming structures in the planes of a substrate. These structures may include interconnect lines, bond pads, and other structures, and improve the performance of subsequent unique processing while simultaneously reducing the manufacturing complexity to reduce time and cost. These structures are formed by selective etching using chemical mechanical polishing, and then completed using a single fill step with a conductive material.
