Abstract

The various problem areas regarding assembling of microelements into complex microsystems are reviewed and the joining techniques are emphasised in particular. The dis,-ussion is focused on the fabrication of microrobotic systems and the various joining techniques are compared with respect to the potential of fulfilling the demands for such a process. Factor.; such as processing conditions, precision, stability, materials limitations, bond and device strength are included in the comparison. Different methods for handling and manipulating microelements are discussed and the experimental equipment used in our own investigations is presented.
