Abstract
A method of positioning a component arranged on a substrate includes providing a substrate having at least one device for sensing an electromagnetic field arranged thereat, generating a dedicated conductive-trace structure on the substrate, the dedicated conductive-trace structure being provided for the purpose of generating an electromagnetic field having a known field distribution, applying an electric voltage to the dedicated conductive-trace structure, so that the dedicated conductive-trace structure generates the electromagnetic field having the known field distribution, and sensing the generated electromagnetic field having the known field distribution by means of the device for sensing an electromagnetic field. According to the method, the location of the component in relation to the substrate is determined on the basis of the above-mentioned sensing of the electromagnetic field having the known field distribution.
