Embodiments are generally directed to dielectric film with pressure sensitive microcapsules of adhesion promoter. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a dielectric film, the dielectric film including a dielectric material layer; a layer of pressure sensitive microcapsules on a first side of the dielectric material layer, the microcapsules including an adhesion promoter; and a cover material on the layer of microcapsules. The pressure sensitive microcapsules are to rupture upon application of a certain rupture pressure.
