Abstract: A method for forming a multi-layer ceramic electronic device includes the steps of (a) forming a circuit layer with a pattern of contacts on a ceramic substrate, (b) forming at least a dielectric blank sheet with a pattern of through-holes on a supporting film, (c) filling each of the through-holes in the dielectric blank sheet with a conductive paste, (d) drying the conductive paste in the through-holes, (e) overlaying the dielectric blank sheet on the circuit layer on the ceramic substrate in such a manner that the through-holes are registered respectively with the contacts, and (f) pressing and heating the ceramic substrate and the dielectric blank sheet.

Abstract: A data processing system (10) implements state machine (82) and register logic (80) such that no external control or data is required during execution of a dual scan path test operation. Prior to execution of the dual scan path test operation, a user of data processing system (10) initializes a system with a plurality of values which will be used during execution of the dual scan path test operation. After initialization, data processing system (10) executes the dual scan path test operation automatically and requires no additional information from the user.
