Patent ID: 8246895

Claim:
A method of manufacture, comprising: (I) providing a substrate, comprising at least one electrically conducting layer overlaid with at least one dielectric outer-facing layer, and further comprising an inner-facing surface; (II) providing a ground reference surface facing said inner-facing surface and in contact therewith, the ground reference surface being electrically grounded, and, while said substrate and said ground reference surface are outside of a mold cavity, establishing a suitable electric field between an electric charger and said ground reference surface to electrostatically charge said outer-facing layer of said substrate; (III) transferring said substrate into said mold cavity and electrostatically holding said substrate in a desired position within said mold cavity; and (IV) injecting a suitable molten material into said mold cavity in a manner such that at least a layer of said molten material possesses said substrate via said inner-facing surface.
