Abstract:
A method for mounting an electrical component to a supporting substrate, comprising:providing an electrical component, the electrical component having a nonconductive surface and an adjacent conductive surface; providing a substrate, the substrate having a nonconductive surface and an adjacent conductive surface; applying an uncured nonconductive adhesive in contact with the nonconductive surfaces of the substrate and electrical component; applying an uncured anisotropically conductive adhesive in contact with the conductive surfaces of the substrate and electrical component; curing the nonconductive adhesive to bond the nonconductive surface of the substrate to the nonconductive surface of the electrical component; compressing the anisotropically conductive adhesive between the conductive surfaces of the substrate and electrical component and thereafter maintaining said compression entirely due to bonding forces generated by the nonconductive adhesive; and after curing the nonconductive adhesive, curing the compressed anisotropically conductive adhesive to form an electrically conductive path between the conductive surfaces of the substrate and electrical component.
