1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a first conductive contact disposed on a first surface of a substrate and a second conductive contact disposed on a different second surface of the substrate; and
a conductive material disposed on at least a portion of the first and second conductive contacts and on at least a portion of an intervening edge of the substrate between each contact surface of the conductive contacts to electrically connect the first and second conductive contacts, wherein the contact surface of the first conductive contact is oriented in a first direction and the contact surface of the second conductive contact is oriented in a different second direction.

Abstract
Conductive contacts can be disposed on multiple substrates or on different surfaces of a single substrate. Conductive material is disposed over at least a portion of the two conductive contacts to electrically connect the contacts. The conductive material may be disposed over at least one surface between the conductive contacts. One or more conductive borders can be formed on a surface of a conductive layer. The conductive border or borders can improve signal transmission across the surface of the conductive layer.
