Methods for producing ordered Z-axis adhesive materials, materials so produced, and devices, incorporating such materials

摘要

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.
