Patent ID: 8376528

Claim:
A method for mounting substrates to one another comprising: cutting a first plurality of channels in a substrate having a plurality of displacement areas arranged in an array, each displacement area having two sides that are parallel to one another and longer than two other shorter parallel sides of the displacement area and the first plurality of channels are cut between the longer sides of adjacent displacement areas on the substrate; cutting a second plurality of channels in the substrate between the shorter sides of adjacent displacement areas on the substrate, the first plurality of channels and the second plurality of channels intersect one another and the second plurality of channels have a width that is less than a width of the first plurality of channels; applying an adhesive to a surface of a substrate other than the one in which the channels have been cut; and pressing the substrate to which epoxy has been applied against the substrate into which the channels have been cut to enable the epoxy to wick into the second plurality of channels without entering the first plurality of channels.
