Patent abstract
A method is provided for aligning parts such as MEMS devices and photonics devices. One approach involves: providing between first and second parts a bonding material having fluid and solid states; applying a control field in the region of the bonding material, the bonding material changing its shape in direct response to changes in the control field while in the fluid state; adjusting the control field while the bonding material is in the fluid state so that the bonding material changes shape and causes relative movement of the first and second parts; and thereafter causing the bonding material to transition from the fluid state to the solid state while the first and second parts are in a selected position with respect to each other.
