Patent ID: 8528805

Claim:
A method, comprising: providing an adjustable structure comprising a substrate and a component to be bonded to and aligned using a stepwise motion relative to one surface of said substrate using fusible elements comprising different non-eutectic solder materials, each non-eutectic solder material having a liquidus transition temperature that is distinct from its solidus temperature, wherein the liquidus transition temperature of one of the non-eutectic solder materials is distinct and separated based on a predetermined criterion from the liquidus transition temperature of any other of the non-eutectic solder materials; and aligning said component relative to a surface of the substrate during a bonding process to compensate an initial offset from a desired position, wherein the aligning of said component is performed by measuring the initial offset from the desired position defined by an offset between the liquidus transition temperatures of the fusible elements and moving the component by a predetermined number of vertical position step increments which results in a bond of the component to the substrate.
