Abstract:
1. A substrate comprising a main fluid reservoir and a connected fluid channel, the main fluid reservoir positioned away from a component region of the substrate, the fluid channel configured to extend from the main fluid reservoir to guide an electrically conductive fluid from the main fluid reservoir at a reservoir end of the fluid channel through the fluid channel to a component end of the fluid channel, the component end extending to the component region of the substrate to enable the formation of an electrical connection to a connector of an electronic component appropriately positioned in the component region, formation of the electrical connection allowing the electronic component to be interconnected to other electronic components using one or more of the main fluid reservoir and the fluid channel; wherein the substrate comprises at least one additional fluid reservoir and respective fluid channels, each additional fluid reservoir connected between its respective fluid channel and the main fluid reservoir and configured to deliver the electrically conductive fluid from the main fluid reservoir to the respective fluid channel; and wherein the at least one additional fluid reservoir is smaller than the main fluid reservoir.
