The present work demonstrates feasibility of an inkjettable, isotropically electrically conductive adhesive in the form of a silver loaded resin with a 2-step curing mechanism. In the first step, the adhesive is dispensed (jetted) and precured leaving a “dry” surface. The second step consists of assembly and final curing. The 2-step cure system is based on a Acrylate-Epoxy-Resin matrix with very low viscosity, i.e., 3 mPas of newtonian properties. Spheroidal silver particles of high purity and a compatible organic coating have been loaded at 70% by weight.
