Abstract
Apparatus for mounting optical and electro-optical components and the like to a substrate to obtain physical mounting and electrical connections, along with heat dissipation. A relief pattern of precisely dimensioned grooves is formed on a substrate surface and the components are mounted in those grooves. The grooves may be partially lined with electrode material to facilitate electrical interconnection between the components and the substrate. The invention also relates to the method of mounting and interconnection.
