Abstract
A universal design of a multiple layer printed circuit board incorporates a series of routing vias interconnecting the various layers. The routing vias are connected to conductive traces in the internal trace layers by internal junctions. The internal junctions are located on the via so that internal junctions may be selectively severed by means of a laser or high pressure water cutting system or other fine line cutting tool or mechanism to customize the circuit design for a particular semiconductor device or integrated circuit.
