Patent ID: 7744718

Claim:
A method for gluing microcomponents to a substrate in the production of microsystem components, comprising: applying a reactive or nonreactive, pulverulent, hotmelt adhesive as a dispersion through a contoured screen with a result that said hotmelt adhesive is present only selected contact areas on a surface of at least one of a substrate and at least one microcomponent, said hotmelt adhesive not being present on other areas on said surface of said at least one of a substrate and at least one microcomponent, said at least one microcomponent being smaller than 1000 μm, and granules of said reactive or nonreactive, pulverent, hotmelt adhesive having a diameter ranging from 0.5 to 150 μm; and applying the at least one microcomponent to the substrate by melting the hotmelt adhesive on the contact areas when the hotmelt adhesive is between the at least one microcomponent and the substrate, and bonding the at least one microcomponent to the substrate during cooling of the hotmelt adhesive below its melting point.
