Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method and apparatus for individually positioning and mounting particles on a target carrier according to a predefined pattern. In particular the particles are spheres of an electrically chargeable material with a diameter in the range of 10 micrometer up to one millimeter and are electrically conductive.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A mounting tool for individual positioning and mounting particles on a target carrier, the mounting tool comprising: a conductive storage bin for containing the particles, the particles having a particle diameter; an intermediate carrier provided with a first pattern of conductive capture areas provided with an insulating layer, the areas having an area diameter, where the area diameter is less than or substantially equal to the particle diameter in…
