ABSTRACT:
Techniques for affixing a micro-object to a mounting structure at a desired relative orientation. A shaped portion of a workpiece is caused to become embedded in a reference structure at a first relative orientation. The workpiece is parted into first and second portions, the first portion of which includes the embedded shaped portion of the workpiece and defines the micro-object. The reference structure is aligned with the mounting structure at a second relative orientation, the first and second relative orientations defining the desired relative orientation of the micro-object and the mounting structure. The micro-object is bonded to the mounting structure while the micro-object remains embedded in the reference structure and the reference structure remains aligned with the mounting structure at the second relative orientation. The micro-object is separated from the reference structure, whereupon the micro-object remains in the desired relative orientation with respect to the mounting structure. The micro-object may have dimensions less than 200 microns, and possibly on the order of 15–25 microns.
