Abstract:
1. A method for attaching a plurality of micro system technologies (MST) devices to a support member having a plurality of apertures provided along a length thereof, each of the MST devices having a plurality of ink inlets provided on a face thereof and arranged as a plurality of channels each separated into a plurality of channel sections by a wall structure, the method comprising the steps of: forming an array of openings in a polymer film; aligning the array of openings in the polymer film with the apertures of the support member; further aligning the array of openings in the polymer film such that at least one opening overlaps ink inlets of two separate channel sections; attaching the polymer film to the support member; sequentially positioning each of the MST devices on the polymer film; and curing the polymer film to bond the conductive tracks, MST devices, and polymer film together.
