Polarity control of electromotive forces

In an manufacturing process, a method of controlling electromotive force (emf) polarity when fabricating an electronic component, the method comprising:

• determining a desired emf polarity for an electronic component;
• based on the desired emf polarity of the electronic component, selecting a first connection type for joining a first set of conducting materials;
• forming a first conducting junction by joining the first set of conducting materials together using the selected first connection type;
• based on the desired emf polarity of the electronic component, selecting a second connection type, different from the first connection type, for joining a second set of conducting materials;
• forming a second conducting junction by joining the second set of conducting materials together using the second connection type;
• and
• packaging the first and second conducting junctions in discrete form as the electronic component with at least two leads used in completing an electrical path in an electrical circuit.

A manufacturing process for controlling electromotive force (emf) polarity when fabricating an electronic component, the process comprising:

• a first connection means for joining a first set of differing conducting materials based on a desired emf polarity for an electronic component, wherein the joining of the first set of differing conducting materials forms a first conducting junction for completing an electrical path;
• a second connection means, different from the first connection means, for joining a second set of differing conducting materials based on the desired emf polarity for the electronic component, wherein the joining of the second set of differing conducting materials forms a second conducting junction for completing an electrical path;
• and
• a packaging mechanism that forms the first and second conducting junctions in discrete form as the electronic component with at least two leads used in completing an electrical path in an electrical circuit.
