Abstract: A substrate includes a plurality of vias that are lined with dielectric polymer having a substantially uniform thickness. This substantial uniform thickness provides a lumen within each dielectric-polymer-layer-lined via that is substantially centered within the via. Subsequent deposition of metal into the lumen for each dielectric-polymer-layer-lined via thus provides conductive vias having substantially centered metal conductors.
