Abstract:
1. A method of bonding components, comprising: positioning a first component in contacting relationship with a target area of a second component, wherein a conductive pattern is disposed at the target area, wherein the conductive pattern comprises a set of electrically isolated conductive traces in spaced-apart relationship, wherein each conductive trace is configured to uniformly heat the substrate target area to a selected temperature sufficient for the first and second components to fuse together when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, and wherein each conductive trace comprises a base with spaced-apart, adjacent U-shaped legs extending from the base, wherein each U-shaped leg comprises a first elongated portion that contacts the base and a spaced-apart second elongated portion having a free end; and irradiating the conductive pattern with electromagnetic radiation such that the target area heats to the temperature and the first and second components fuse together at the target area.
