A multilayer electronic support structure including at least one pair of adjacent feature layers extending in an X-Y plane that are separated by a via layer; said via layer comprising a dielectric material that is sandwiched between the two adjacent feature layers and at least one constructional element through the dielectric material spanning between said pair of adjacent feature layers in a Z direction perpendicular to the X-Y plane; wherein said at least one constructional element is characterized by having a long dimension in the X-Y plane that is at least 3 times as long as a short dimension in the X-Y plane and wherein the at least one constructional element is fully encapsulated within the dielectric material and is electrically isolated from its surrounding.
