A method to assemble a uniform force hydrostatic bolster plate to one side of a substrate having a first side and a second side that is opposite to the first side, the method comprising:
- attaching a component to an electrical contact area on said second side of said substrate;
- filling a bladder with a material;
- inserting said bladder into a cavity in a hollow plate that forms the uniform force hydrostatic bolster plate;
- and
- attaching said bladder and said hollow plate to said first side of said substrate, wherein said bladder and said hollow plate are attached to said first side which is opposite said electrical contact area on said second side of said substrate;
- and
- clamping the component and the hollow plate to the substrate by use of a clamp disposed directly on top of the component and disposed on the second side of the substrate, and by use of at least one bolt that is inserted through the clamp, through the first side and second side of the substrate, and through the hollow plate.
