Abstract
A method using a receiving substrate and a target substrate having a photon-transparent support, a photon absorbent interlayer coated on the support, and a tissue-implantable particle on top of the interlayer opposite to the support. A source of photon energy is directed through the transparent support so that the photon energy strikes the interlayer. A portion of the interlayer is energized by absorption of the photon energy. The energized interlayer causes a transfer of the particle across a gap between the target substrate and the receiving substrate and embedding of the particle into the receiving substrate.
Claims6
A method comprising:
- providing a receiving substrate;
- wherein the receiving substrate comprises living tissue, a living organism, or a living human;
- providing a target substrate comprising a photon-transparent support, a photon absorbent interlayer coated on the support, and a tissue-implantable particle on top of the interlayer opposite to the support;
- wherein the particle comprises an integrated circuit;
- providing a source of photon energy;
- and
- directing the photon energy through the transparent support so that the photon energy strikes the interlayer;
- wherein a portion of the interlayer is energized by absorption of the photon energy;
- and
- wherein the energized interlayer causes a transfer of the particle across a gap between the target substrate and the receiving substrate and embedding of the particle into the receiving substrate.
