A method is provided for modifying a circuit containing a plurality of
electrodes, within a substrate, comprising the steps of: (a) selecting at
least two electrodes for making a connection; (b) removing materials
covering the electrodes with a focused ion beam (FIB) or a laser to form
contact holes for respectively exposing the electrodes; (c) depositing in
the contact holes a conductive material for forming electrically
conductive piers, by applying the focused ion beam (FIB) or laser, with
gas molecules ejected from a nozzle; (d) disposing an electrically
conductive viscid material over each of the electrically conductive
piers; and (e) disposing an electrically conductive bridge floor to
connect with the electrically conductive viscid material to form an
electrically conductive bridge.
