Patent ID: 7682871

Claim:
A method for forming a joint, comprising: providing a module comprising a paper or plastic substrate, the module further comprising first contact areas located on a surface of the substrate, and the module further comprising an integrated circuit on a chip mounted on the substrate and being in electrical contact with the first contact areas; providing a web comprising a plurality of adjacent circuitry patterns comprising second contact areas; dispensing a settable isotropically conductive adhesive on the second contact areas; attaching the first contact areas to the second contact areas; dispensing a settable nonconductive adhesive at a side of the module such that the settable nonconductive adhesive is sucked underneath the module by capillary forces; curing the settable nonconductive adhesive at an ambient atmospheric pressure; reeling the web up after curing the settable nonconductive adhesive; and storing the reeled up web for a time and temperature effective to cure the isotropically conductive adhesive at the ambient atmospheric pressure after curing the settable nonconductive adhesive.
