Abstract:
A method of assembling RFID components together while using an RFID chip that heats internally in order to assemble that RFID chip and another RFID component such as an antenna is followed while producing RFID assemblies or RFID devices. This RFID chip is associated with a member that has an electrical characteristic to develop heat internal of this RFID chip. An uncured adhesive is positioned between at least a portion of the RFID chip and a portion of the other RFID component. Action of the RFID chip internal member heats the RFID chip, heat emanating to the adhesive, resulting in adhesive curing into a cured adhesive joint attaching together the RFID chip and the other RFID component. This assembly is capable of being achieved without an external source of heat or pressure applied to the adhesive. Temperature monitoring is available to assess heat development in connection with threshold temperature designation.
Abstract:
An arrangement for improving adhesive attachment of micro-components in an assembly utilizes a plurality of parallel-disposed slots formed in the top surface of the substrate used to support the micro-components. The slots are used to control the flow and "shape" of an adhesive "dot" so as to quickly and accurately attach a micro- component to the surface of a substrate. The slots are formed (preferably, etched) in the surface of the substrate in a manner that lends itself to reproducible accuracy from one substrate to another. Other slots ("channels") may be formed in conjunction with the bonding slots so that extraneous adhesive material will flow into these channels and not spread into unwanted areas.
Abstract:
A support and a method for fluidic assembly are provided. The support has a surface having binding sites adapted to receive micro-components of a type that are applied to the surface using a fluid; and energy absorbing heat producers at selected binding site. Each energy absorbing heat producer is adapted to receive energy and to transduce a portion of the received energy to heat the fluid proximate to the selected binding sites; so that when the micro-components are applied using a fluid that increases viscosity when heated, the heat generated by the energy absorbing heat producers increases the viscosity of the fluid proximate to the selected binding sites to prevent the micro-components from attaching to the selected binding sites.

Abstract:
Conductive traces and patterns of same are used to bond components together via electromagnetic radiation. Each conductive trace is configured to resonate and heat up when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, such as microwave energy and/or RF energy, having a wavelength that is about 2.3 times the length of the conductive trace. The conductive traces may be arranged in a pattern to uniformly heat a target area of a substrate or other component to a selected temperature when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation.
Abstract:
A support (60) and a method for fluidic assembly are provided. The support has a surface having binding sites (62,64,66,68) adapted to receive micro-components (80,84) of a type that are applied to the surface using a fluid (72,73); and energy absorbing heat producers at selected binding site. Each energy absorbing heat producer is adapted to receive energy and to transduce a portion of the received energy to heat the fluid (72) proximate to the selected binding sites; so that when the micro-components are applied using a fluid that increases viscosity when heated, the heat generated by the energy absorbing heat producers increases the viscosity of the fluid proximate to the selected binding sites to prevent the micro-components from attaching to the selected binding sites
Abstract:
A method and system for locally connecting microstructures and devices formed thereby are provided wherein localized solder-bonding creates bonds between pairs of microstructures found on miniature flexible cables and silicon microsystems platforms. Multi-lead contact to the pads are detected automatically, triggering an embedded heater or heaters to initiate solder melting. This approach enables delicate microstructures to be connected and disconnected from microsystem platforms in the field, and is implemented with a process that is compatible with monolithic integration of circuits.
