[0002] Anisotropic conductive adhesive is a type of conductive adhesive, also known as anisotropic conductive adhesive, anisotropic conductive adhesive, referred to as ACA / ACP in English.

According to the direction of conduction, it can be divided into two categories: isotropic conductive adhesive (ICA) and anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA). In comparison, anisotropic conductive adhesive has higher technical content. Compared with anisotropic conductive film (ACF), which is also anisotropic conductive adhesive, anisotropic conductive adhesive is paste-like in appearance and has the advantages of stronger adhesion and higher reliability. It can be used in the field of fine printed circuit board manufacturing. Summary of the invention
