Abstract

A method of connecting a first and second circuit device includes providing a first circuit device having a first main area and a second circuit device having a second and a third main area. A spacer device is disposed on one of the first and second circuit devices to ensure a predetermined spacing between the first and second circuit devices. An adhesive is applied to at least one of the first main area and the second main area and the first and second circuit devices are aligned and joined. The adhesive is then cured.

Claims (17)

1. A method of connecting a first and second circuit device, the method comprising:

providing a first circuit device having a first main area;

providing a second circuit device having a second main area and a third main area;

providing a spacer device on one of the first and second circuit devices, thereby ensuring a predetermined spacing between the first and second circuit devices;

applying an adhesive to at least one of the first main area and the second main area;

aligning the first and second circuit devices;

joining the first and second circuit devices;

curing the adhesive,

providing a first electrical contact on the first main area of the first circuit device;

providing a second electrical contact on one of the second main area and the third main area of the second circuit device;

providing a third electrical contact on the spacer device;

aligning the spacer device such that the second and third electrical contacts are in electrical communication with each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting one of the first and second electrical contacts to be a metallization.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting one of the first and second electrical contacts to be a conductive track.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting one of the first and second electrical contacts to be a bonding pad.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising urging the first and second circuit devices together, thereby causing deformation of the spacer device disposed between the first and second circuit devices.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein curing the adhesive occurs while the spacer device is deformed.
