An electronic package including a conductive trace layer having a first
side and a second side. The conductive trace layer is patterned to define
a plurality of interconnect pads. A flexible dielectric substrate is
mounted on the first side of the conductive trace layer. A flexible
capacitor including a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer
and a layer of dielectric material disposed between the first and the
second conductive layers is mounted with the first conductive layer
adjacent to the second side of the conductive trace layer. A plurality of
interconnect regions extend through the first conductive layer and the
dielectric material layer of the capacitor. An interconnect member is
connected between each one of the conductive layers of the capacitor and
a corresponding set of the interconnect pads. The first conductive layer
of the capacitor is electrically connected to a first set of the
interconnect pads and the second conductive layer of the capacitor is
electrically connected to a second set of the interconnect pads. The
interconnect members corresponding to the second set of interconnect pads
extend through one of the interconnect regions. An aperture extends
through the dielectric substrate adjacent to each one of the interconnect
pads. A stiffening member is mounted adjacent to the second conductive
layer of the capacitor. A device receiving region is formed through the
dielectric substrate, the conductive trace layer and the capacitor.
