Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for attaching a device to a substrate for operation of the device under variable conditions includes attaching a device to a substrate, disposing a removable material over a first portion of the device, positioning a second portion of the device adjacent to the substrate, operably attaching a retainer to the substrate adjacent to the device with a part of the retainer disposed over the removable material, and removing the removable material to form a gap between the device and the retainer so that the device is retained on the substrate, and wherein the gap allows the device to move freely relative to the retainer and the substrate in response to changes in temperature.
