An electrically conductive adhesive tape used for electrical and electronic products to bond or fix an element to a support while maintaining an electrical conductibility between the element and support. The conductive adhesive tape has a structure including a resin film, a metal layer formed over one surface of the resin film by depositing a conductive metal over the surface of the resin film, and a conductive adhesive layer coated over the metal layer. The metal layer has a net-shaped structure. In some cases, the metal layer may have a planar structure. The conductive adhesive tape has a very small thickness by virtue of its metal layer deposited to a very small thickness. Accordingly, the conductive adhesive tape maintains a desired strength while exhibiting a high flexibility and a high bondability, thereby exhibiting a superior conductibility.

The manufacture of the tape is simple. By virtue of the conductibility, the tape of the present invention also has an elecromagnetic wave shielding function.
