An apparatus includes a circuit having first, second and third circuit
portions, the first and third circuit portions each including at least
one semiconductor circuit component. The second circuit portion includes
at least one non-semiconductor circuit component, and is free of
semiconductor circuit components. A first substrate has the first and
second circuit portions disposed adjacent one side thereof. A second
substrate is physically separate from the first substrate, and has the
third circuit portion disposed adjacent a side thereof which faces the
one side of the first substrate. The second and third circuit portions
have electrically conductive parts which are coupled by thermo-formed
bonds.
