A method for manufacturing a mounting body comprising: a mounting step of mounting an electronic component onto a wiring board via an anisotropic conductive film containing a binder having an epoxy resin as a primary constituent and conductive particles having a compressive hardness (K) of 500 kgf/mm2 or more when compressively deformed by 10%, wherein a relation between a thickness (A) of the binder and an average particle diameter (B) is 0.6≦B/A≦1.5 and an elastic modulus of the binder after curing is 50 MPa or more at 100° C.; and a remounting step of mechanically peeling to detach the electronic component and the wiring board in the case of a problem occurring in mounting of the mounting step and reusing the wiring board to perform the mounting step.
Abstract:
A transparent touch panel is structured by forming connecting layers that contain conductive metal powder dispersed in a resin, on ends of wiring patterns on a wiring board to which upper electrodes and lower electrodes are to be bonded. This structure can provide a transparent touch panel that ensures bonding of upper and lower substrates and the wiring board and stable electrical connection.
Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to materials and processes for creating particle-enhanced bumps on electrical contact surfaces through stencil or screen printing processes. The materials are mixtures of conductive ink, conductive paste, or conductive adhesive and conductive hard particles (104). The process involves depositing the mixture (108) onto electrical contact surfaces by stencil printing, screen printing, or other dispensing techniques (110). In another embodiment, the ink, paste, or adhesive is first stenciled or screen printed and the particles are then applied on top of the ink, paste, or adhesive deposit. Once cured (114), the deposition provides a hard, electrical contact bump on the contact surface with a rough, conductive, sandpaper-like surface that can be easily connected to an opposing contact surface without any further surface preparation of either surface.

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:
Electrically conductive elements on two substrates can be electrically interconnected by an adhesive tape containing electrically conductive equiax particles that are individually positioned in the adhesive layer in a predetermined pattern. Each particle is harder than the elements it is to interconnect, so that hand pressure causes the particles to penetrate into the elements, thus creating a reliable electrical connection. Particularly useful particles are glass beads having a metallic coating that is from 0.1 to 2 .mu.m thick.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a norms computation procedure applied within a neuronal network structure or a computer. It permits determination of the norm of the new synaptic coefficients without necessitating their explicit computation. To this end, the structure comprises a processing unit 10 which determines output potentials y.sub.k and variation .DELTA..sub.k, a storage unit 13 for the old and new norms and a computational unit 15 for the new norms. The latter are thus rapidly determined without needing to call the synaptic coefficients in memory. The procedure can be utilized with certain algorithms which necessitate a computation of norms.
Abstract:
Electrical connection between electrode arrangements formed on first and second substrates is described. The first substrate is placed over the second substrate with a UV light curable adhesive between them. The UV light curable adhesive carries first and second particles dispersed therein. The first and second substrates are pressed against each other and exposed to UV light in order to harden the adhesive. The first particles are made from conductive particles and preferably resilient and function to form current paths between the electrodes of the first and second substrates. The second particles function to prevent the first particles from being destroyed by excess deformation.
Abstract:
A compliant element (23, 25) is provided between an integrated circuit (11) and a substrate (19) which are bonded and interconnected by an anisotropic conductive adhesive (20) comprising conductive particles (21) in a polymer matrix (22). In one embodiment, one set of bonding pads (12, FIG. 2) is coated with a layer (23) of a metal that is significantly softer than the metal from which the conductive particles are made, which permits an oversized conductive particle (21a) to indent into the soft metal layer (23). In another embodiment, one of the sets of bonding pads (15, FIG. 3) is arranged on a relatively thick layer of adhesive (25) which is sufficiently viscous at the temperature at which contact is made to permit the bonding pad (15) to pivot in response to pressure from an oversized conductive particle (21d).
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.
