Abstract

A method for making a microstructure assembly, the method including the steps of providing a first substrate and a second substrate; depositing an electrically conductive material on the second substrate; contacting the second substrate carrying the electrically conductive material with the first substrate; and then supplying current to the electrically conductive material to locally elevate the temperature of said electrically conductive material and cause formation of a bond between the first substrate and the second substrate.
