Embedded vialess bridges are provided. In an implementation, discrete pieces containing numerous conduction lines or wires in a 3-dimensional bridge piece are embedded where needed in a main substrate to provide dense arrays of signal, power, and electrical ground wires below the surface of the main substrate. Vertical conductive risers to reach the surface plane of the main substrate are also included in the discrete piece, for connecting to dies on the surface of the substrate and thereby interconnecting the dies to each other through the dense array of wires in the discrete piece. The discrete piece to be embedded may have parallel planes of conductors at regular intervals within itself, and thus may present a working surface homogeneously covered with the ends of vertical conductors available to connect surface components to each other and to ground and power at many places along the embedded piece.
