Abstract:
An electrically conductive cement which when used to bond electrically conductive mating surfaces provides substantially stable conductivity characteristics under high humidity conditions; comprised of a carrier that provides a volumetric shrinkage of more than about 6.8% (vol.) and a conductive filler including agglomerates, particles, powders, flakes, coated nickel particles, and coated glass spheres, having size and surface characteristics that maintain stable electrical contact by forming a moisture resistant contact with an electrical component lead. The carrier having a volumetric shrinkage between the uncured and cured states of greater than about 6.8% (vol) appears to effect a compaction of the filler particles causing the particles to be forced into enhanced electrical contact with the surfaces to be connected and to provide a measure of compaction between the particles themselves to enhance particle-to-particle conduction. The shrinkage of the polymeric carrier during curing places the interior particles under compression with sufficient force to urge the particles into engagement with one another as well as to cause the particles to penetrate non-conductive oxides that may be present on a component lead.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a variety of interrelated methods of coating non-random and ordered arrays of particles, as well as films containing such arrays. The present invention also relates to the coated non-random and ordered arrays of particles and films prepared therefrom. The coated non-random and ordered arrays are obtained by the use of ferrofluid compositions which may be curable. The arrays and films may contain electrically-conductive particles useful in electronic applications for effecting contact between conductors.
Abstract:
Soldering methods and compositions are disclosed to provide electrical connections between surfaces with reduced likelihood of short circuits or solder-starved joints. Bimetallic solder particles are employed to preferably form 'metallic foam' joints upon heating. The use of bimetallic particles which fuse together rapidly reduces the likelihood of reflow-related solder joint faults. The methods and compositions of the present invention can also reduce the potential for thermal fatigue and other solder joint failures in electronic devices following fabrication because the porous solder joints relieve plastic constraints and lower the average tensile joint stress. In one preferred embodiment, solder compositions are employed which are composed of particles of a first metal coated with a second metal. The metals are chosen such that their individual melting points are higher than the melting points of the alloy or alloys formed when they are combined. Upon heating of such coated particles, melting occurs at the interfaces between the core materials and their coatings. The liquidus so formed causes various particles to fuse together in a porous metal foam that provides an electronic connection capable of withstanding thermal cycling with significantly lower failure rates. This soldering technique is particularly advantageous when applied to soldering of ball arrays and similar structures that facilitate mounting of chips to printed circuit boards, other chips or substrates, generally. The present invention can also be useful in reducing the total amount of lead and/or other toxic components present in solder compositions.
