By cascading the interconnection (i.e., adding a third layer to the two-layered package, and electrically interconnecting the third layer to the second layer), an integrated package of as many layers as desired or as needed may be formed, without having to penetrate more than any two adjacent layers of circuit boards at any one time. The method may be significantly varied, by performing additional steps to drill, plate and align one or more grounded holes in the circuit board layers, to improve the electrical performance of the transition.
