Abstract
A contact of a component is electrically connected to an associated contact of an electrical circuit, typically formed on a substrate, by depositing material between the contacts, the material forming or being processed to form an electrical connection between the contacts. The invention also provides apparatus for this purpose and a resulting circuit.
Claims16
A method of electrically connecting a contact of a component to an associated contact in or for an electrical circuit, comprising using adhesive to secure the component to a substrate carrying the electrical circuit, wherein the adhesive forms a ramp leading from the substrate surface to the top surface of the component and depositing material between the contacts, the material forming or being processed to form an electrical connection between the contacts.
A method of electrically connecting a contact of a component to an associated contact in or for an electrical circuit on a substrate, comprising securing the component to the substrate using adhesive, with the adhesive forming a ramp leading from the substrate surface to the top surface of the component, and depositing material on the ramp between the contacts, the material forming or being processed to form an electrical connection between the contacts.
A method of electrically connecting a contact of a component to an associated contact in or for an electrical circuit positioned on a substrate surface which comprises securing the component to the substrate surface with the contact of said component positioned above said substrate and the associated contact, said component being secured to said substrate surface by an adhesive which forms a ramp positioned between the two contacts and depositing conductive material on said ramp between said contacts such that said material forms or provides an electrical connection between said contacts.
