ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for making electrical connections between conductors on a substrate utilizes a dielectric-like metal film deposited on the substrate interconnecting the conductors to be connected. The dielectric-like film is deposited in the form of microscopic islands or columns that are spaced by microscopic distances, thus making the film non-conductive when deposited. When an electrical connection is desired, the dielectric-like film is melted by localized heating, for example, by a focused laser, thereby melting the individual metal islands and permitting them to flow together to make the film conductive.
