Electronic package having a flexible substrate with ends connected to one another

An electronic package, comprising:

• a flexible substrate having first and second portions with a fold portion between the first and second portions, the flexible substrate being folded at the fold portion to position the second portion over the first portion;
• a plurality of external terminals on the first portion;
• a plurality of external terminals on the second portion;
• a first plurality of conductors, each running from a respective external terminal on the first portion to the left along the first portion, over the fold line and subsequently to the right along the second portion to a respective one of the external terminals on the second portion;
• and
• a second plurality of conductors, each running from a respective external terminal on the first portion to the right along the first portion and subsequently to the left over the second portion without running over the fold portion.

A method of constructing an electronic package, comprising:

• forming a plurality of first conductors and first and second sections of second conductors on a substrate, the first conductors extending from a first portion on a right-hand side of the substrate over a fold portion to a second portion on a left-hand side of the substrate, the first sections on the first portion and the second sections on the second portion;
• folding the substrate at the fold region;
• and
• connecting the first and second sections of the second conductors to one another after the substrate is folded at the fold region.
