Abstract
A method is disclosed for forming conductive vias in a substrate by filling preformed via holes, preferably through via holes, with conductive material. The method includes providing a plurality of preformed objects at least partly including ferromagnetic material on a surface of the substrate; providing a magnetic source on an opposite side of the substrate with respect to the plurality of preformed objects, thereby at least partly aligning at least a portion of the preformed objects with a magnetic field associated with the magnetic source; and moving the magnetic source relative the substrate, or vice versa, thereby moving the at least portion of the preformed objects into at least a portion of the via holes.
