A multilayer substrate device formed from a base substrate and alternating
metalization layers and dielectric layers. Each layer is formed without
firing. Vias may extend through one of the dielectric layers such that
two metalization layers surrounding the dielectric layers make. contact
with each other. The vias may be formed by placing pillars on top of a
metalization layer, forming a dielectric layer on top of the metalization
layer and surrounding the pillars, and removing the pillars. Dielectric
layers may be followed by other dielectric layers and metalization layers
may be followed by other metalization layers. Vias in the substrate may
be filled by forming an assembly around the substrate, the assembly
including printing sheets containing a conductive ink and pressure plates
for applying pressure. A vacuum may be applied to remove air in the ink.
Pressure may then be applied to the printing sheets through the pressure
plates. The conductive ink in the printing sheets is pushed through the
vias when pressure is applied by the pressure plates.
