Abstract
A method of making a circuitized substrate which may be utilized as a chip carrier structure. The method involves the steps of providing a dielectric member and routing out a preselected portion of the base member to form an aperture. Metallization of the dielectric member and the walls of the aperture then occurs, followed by circuitization of the surfaces of the dielectric member. Direct metallization of the aperture walls eliminates many manufacturing steps previously required to metallize the aperture walls.
