Abstract:
An anisotropically electroconductive adhesive to be used for establishing electric connection between terminals (15) of, for example, an IC chip (14) and of a circuit pattern (17), at a low cost with high reliabilities both in the establishment of electric connection and in the insulation upon the connection without suffering from short-circuiting between circuit lines in the circuit and without causing any obstruction on the circuit, even when the terminals (15) or the circuit lines (17) are disposed at close intervals, which adhesive (10) comprises an electrically insulating adhesive matrix (13) and electroconductive particles (11,12) dispersed in the matrix (13), wherein the electroconductive particles (11,12) comprise at least two electroconductive particulate products of different average particle sizes and wherein each particle of both the particulate products (11,12) is coated with an electrically insulating resin insoluble in the insulating adhesive matrix (13).
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé de formation d'une connexion électrique anisotrope entre des éléments conducteurs (22, 24) possédant une couche d'oxyde (28). Le procédé consiste à utiliser un adhésif (30) comportant des fibres de carbone (32) et des particules métalliques (34). Lorsqu'on applique une pression, les fibres de carbone (32) pénètrent dans la couche d'oxyde (28), tandis que les particules métalliques (34) se déforment de telle façon qu'une bonne connexion électrique se fasse entre les éléments de recouvrement (22, 24).

A process for electrically connecting circuits wherein at least one circuit (4) is provided on an insulating layer (3) and has a plurality of projecting electrodes (2) which are deformable under pressure in the circuit connecting operation, wherein an insulating adhesive having a volatile content of 0.5% or less by weight and comprising
(i) a liquid epoxy resin, (ii) a solid resin having one or more functional groups and (iii) a microcapsule type curing agent, in the form of a film (5) having a thickness of 50µm or less, is interposed between the circuits and is substantially cured after the projecting electrodes have been contacted with the opposing circuits by applying heat and pressure at the time of connection.
Abstract:
Excellent connection of conductors with high reliability can be accomplished by using an adhesive composition or film capable of exhibiting anisotropic-electroconductivity comprising an electrically insulating adhesive component and electroconductive particles each particle comprising a polymeric core material coated with a thin metal layer.
Abstract:
Composition adhésive anisotropiquement conductrice (10) à utiliser pour connecter électriquement au moins une zone conductrice (14) placée sur un substrat (12) à au moins une zone conductrice (20) placée sur un second substrat (18). La composition (10) consiste en un mélange de particules conductrices et d'un liant adhésif non conducteur (26). Les particules conductrices sont dispersées à travers le liant dans plusieurs éléments conducteurs non contigus (24), de manière que, en appliquant une couche (30) de la composition (10) sur la zone conductrice et la zone isolante (14, 16) sur un substrat (12) et en plaçant dans une relation de conductivité et en faisant adhérer au moins ladite zone conductrice (20) sur le second substrat (18) à au moins ladite zone conductrice (14) sur le premier substrat (12), les éléments (24) établissent une connexion électrique entre les zones conductrices adhérées (14, 20) sur les deux substrats (12, 18). Les éléments (24), toutefois, sont suffisamment espacés entre eux pour empêcher une conductivité électrique entre les zones adjacentes sur le même substrat. Sont également décrits un procédé de connexion électrique des zones conductrices sur deux substrats au moyen de cette composition adhésive anisotropiquement conductrice (0) ainsi que des produits fabriqués en utilisant ce procédé.

A coated conductive particle composed of a particle having a surface of a conductive metal and insulating particles covering the particle having the conductive metal surface, wherein the insulating particles form a single coating layer by chemically bonding with the particle having the conductive metal surface through a functional group (A) having a bondability with the conductive metal.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition (3) comprising: (i) a ferrofluid comprising a colloidal suspension (4) of ferromagnetic particles in a non-magnetic carrier liquid, and (ii) a plurality of electrically-conductive particles (5) having substantially uniform sizes and shapes, dispersed in the ferrofluid. Various types of substantially non-magnetic electrically-conductive particles (5) are described. Application of a substantially uniform magnetic field by magnet means (8) to the composition (3) causes the electrically-conductive particles (5) to form a regular pattern (9). The composition is used for providing anisotropic conductive pathways (9a, 9b) between two sets of conductors (2a, 2b; 7a, 7b) in the electronics industry. The composition may be a curable adhesive composition which bonds the conductors. Alternatively or in addition the electrically-conductive particles may have a latent adhesive property e.g. the particles may be solder particles. The ferrofluid may be a colloidal suspension of ferromagnetic particles in a liquid monomer.
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.
