Abstract
A method for populating an substrate (14) with particles (12, 16), comprising the steps of applying an adhesive coating (22) to both surfaces of a substrate (14) and loading the particles (12, 16) to the adhesive areas (30) of the adhesive coating (22), such that each surface of the substrate (14) is fully populated with the particles (12, 16) which may thereafter be reflowed simultaneously. The particles may be composed of a variety of compositions, including copper, other metals, alloys, and synthetic resin compounds, such as conductive plastics.
