Patent ID: 8847337

Claim:
A process of assembling a three-dimensional electromechanical device, the process comprising: providing a mounting fixture comprising at least one wafer member defining oppositely-disposed first and second surfaces, and at least a first mounting cavity in the wafer member, the first mounting cavity defining an opening in the first surface of the wafer member and being defined by multiple side walls and a bottom wall that adjoins the side walls and closes the first mounting cavity at the second surface of the wafer member; placing multiple chips in the first mounting cavity through the opening of the cavity in the first surface of the wafer member, a first of the chips contacting a first of the side walls, a second of the chips contacting a second of the side walls, and a third of the chips contacting the bottom walls; securing the first and second chips to the first and second side walls; and joining the first, second and third chips to form the three-dimensional electromechanical device.
