Method and Device for Producing a System Having a Component Applied to a Predetermined Location of a Surface of a Substrate

Abstract

A method for producing a system with a substrate with a surface and a component applied to a predetermined location of the surface of the substrate includes a step of generating a liquid volume containing the component and a step of applying the liquid volume containing the component on the surface of the substrate. At that, the liquid volume is sized so that it wets only a partial area of the surface of the substrate after its application. In the step of applying the liquid volume is placed on the surface of the substrate so that the partial area of the surface includes the predetermined location. The component or the predetermined location of the surface of the substrate is implemented so that after the application of the liquid volume a force acts on the component which is sufficient to drive the component within the liquid volume to the predetermined location. The method is completely independent of the speed of a gripper and its capability to grip and align a very small component.

1 . A device for producing a system comprising a substrate with a surface and a component applied to a predetermined location of the surface of the substrate, comprising: 
 a device for generating a liquid volume containing the component; and    a device for applying the liquid volume containing the component onto the surface of the substrate,    wherein the liquid volume is sized so that it wets only a partial area of the surface of the substrate after its application,    wherein the device for applying the liquid volume is implemented so that the liquid volume may be placed on the surface of the substrate so that the partial area of the surface includes the predetermined location, and    wherein the component or the predetermined location of the surface of the substrate is implemented so that after the application of the liquid volume a force acts on the component which is sufficient to drive the component within the liquid volume to the predetermined location.    
   
   
       2 . The device according to claim  21 , wherein the device for applying the liquid volume onto the substrate includes a printer for performing a roller printing method.
