Abstract
A miniaturized electronic device including a substrate one surface of which carries a first pattern of metallic elements of electrical circuits and a second pattern of metallic elements of electrical circuits which are crossing each other at at least some spots, the crossing elements of electrical circuits being separated by a dielectric material, wherein the device exhibits a multilayer structure, the dielectric material is a serigraphiable dielectric arranged as a thick layer in which the patterns of electric circuits are arranged in different planes, the device being usable for providing reliable devices such as circulation isolators.
