Methods of making printed structures

A method of making a printed structure, comprising:

• providing a destination substrate, contact pads disposed on or in the destination substrate, and a layer of adhesive disposed on the destination substrate;
• providing a stamp with a component adhered to the stamp, the component having a stamp side in contact with the stamp and a post side opposite the stamp side, wherein the component comprises a circuit and connection posts extending from the post side, each of the connection posts electrically connected to the circuit;
• pressing the component into contact with the adhesive layer to adhere the component to the destination substrate to form the printed structure having a volume defined between the component and the destination substrate;
• removing the stamp;
• and
• processing the printed structure to fill or reduce the volume, wherein the step of processing the printed structure comprises moving the component toward the destination substrate.
