Patent ID: 7054052

Claim:
A method of combining components to form an integrated device, comprising the following steps: providing at least one first component on a first surface of a sacrificial substrate, providing at least one second component on a first surface of a non-sacrificial substrate; forming at least one support structure on at least one of said first surfaces of said sacrificial substrate, and said non-sacrificial substrate, respectively, such that said at least one support structure is extended outwardly from at least one of said first surfaces; bonding said sacrificial substrate carrying said at least one first component, and said non-sacrificial substrate carrying said at least one second component, respectively, with an intermediate bonding material, so that said first surfaces will be facing one another with a distance essentially defined by a thickness of said support structure, removing at least a part of said sacrificial substrate; mechanically and/or electrically interconnecting said at least one first component and said at least one second component.
