Abstract
A method and structure for affixing a component to a structure in an aligned position facilitates fabrication of diminutive assemblies, such as integrated circuits. The component is placed upon a support structure. The component has an alignment marking. The support structure has a viewing aperture and an alignment pattern. The support structure and component are arranged so that the alignment marking and the alignment pattern are visible through the viewing aperture. The alignment marking and the alignment pattern are simultaneously viewed through the viewing aperture and the component is aligned upon the support structure so that the alignment marking of the component is aligned with respect to the alignment pattern of the support structure. The aligned component is bonded to a structural member.
