Abstract:
A conductive connecting method for electrically connecting first and second electronic parts each having a plurality of connecting terminals arranged at a small pitch is disclosed. A conductive bonding agent is interposed between the plurality of connecting terminals of the first and second electronic parts. The conductive bonding agent is prepared by mixing a plurality of fine connecting particles in an insulating adhesive. Each fine connecting particle is designed such that a fine conductive particle or a fine insulating particle with a plating layer formed on its surface is covered with an insulating layer consisting of a material which is broken upon thermocompression bonding. When the conductive bonding agent is subjected to thermocompression bonding between the connecting terminals of the first and second electronic parts, portions of the fine connecting particles which are urged by the respective fine connecting terminals are broken. However, the insulating layers of the fine connecting particles in the planar direction are not broken and remain as they are. In this conductive connecting structure, even if the ratio of fine connecting particles is increased, and adjacent fine connecting particles are brought into contact with each other, insulating properties can be kept in the planar direction, while conduction is obtained only in the direction of thickness.

It is currently difficult to deposit metallic conductors as contiguous metal traces during additive manufacturing processes, particularly when dielectric materials are present that are readily heat-softened. Additive manufacturing processes can include: providing a first printing composition containing metal nanoparticles and a second printing composition containing a dielectric material; depositing the first and second printing compositions together to form an object having a desired shape, in which the metal nanoparticles are unconsolidated with one another after being deposited; and heating the object above a fusion temperature of the metal nanoparticles and below a softening temperature of the dielectric material to define one or more contiguous metal traces in the object in which the metal nanoparticles are at least partially fused together with one another in a defined shape.
