  • Methods for producing ordered Z-axis adhesive materials, materials so produced, and devices, incorporating such materials
    Patent number: 5637176
    Abstract: Ordered Z-axis electroconductive sheet materials are produced by entrapping bodies of fusible, polymeric, electroconductive adhesive at predetermined spaced locations in a sheet-like carrier of fusible, polymeric, dielectric adhesive including a thermoplastic component. The materials are useful for mechanically joining and electrically connecting electronic circuit components.

  • Method of making electroconductive adhesive particles for Z-axis application
    Patent number: 5531942
    Abstract: Electroconductive resin adhesive particles are incorporated in a dielectric-resin-adhesive-containing carrier to form a Z-axis adhesive. Particles are preferably produced by printing techniques or by in-fluid forming techniques, the latter being particularly suited for the formation of substantially spherical particle shapes. The particles also have use as discrete adhesive members.
