Patent ID: 8767026

Claim:
A method for individually positioning and mounting particles on a target carrier, the method comprising: a first transferring step of transferring the particles from a storage bin to an intermediate carrier and a second transferring step of transferring the particles from the intermediate carrier to the target carrier, the first transferring step further comprising the steps of: applying a voltage to a pattern of interconnected conductive capture areas on a first side of the intermediate carrier, the pattern being covered with an insulating layer; bringing the first side of the intermediate carrier in the direct vicinity of particles stored in the conductive storage bin; turning the bin and the intermediate carrier together around an axis parallel to the intermediate carrier; disconnecting the voltage from the interconnected conductive capture areas; and moving the intermediate carrier with a monolayer of particles according to the pattern from the bin; and the second transferring step further comprising the steps of: positioning the intermediate carrier with the monolayer of particles according to the pattern in front of the target carrier, the target carrier being provided with an adhesive layer; pushing the monolayer of particles against the adhesive layer of the target carrier; and curing the adhesive layer for fixing the monolayer of particles onto the target carrier.
