  • optical component attachment typically involves accurate submicron placement (alignment on the order of about 0.25 micrometers) and quick cure adhesives.
  • Conventional methods have included active part alignment with little or no automation which results in high labor costs. Modules are often assembled with a hierarchy of solder materials at different temperatures and wire bonding in very difficult tight spaces. The industry is in need of a low cost automated batch assembly process.
