Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2004."February 2004."Includes bibliographical references (p. 146-152).The micron-scale manufacturing industry has grown to hundreds of billions of dollars since the advent of the transistor in 1947. Increasing demands for integration of surface mount components, greater use of portable electronic devices, and miniaturized medical diagnostic devices have given rise to the need for methods of fabricating and assembling micron-scale discrete components. Development of reliable non-contact assembly methods requires thorough understanding of electro-mechanics, surface adhesion, and gravitational forces acting on micron- scale objects. The impact o...
