Abstract

The effects of different curing and post-heating treatment procedures on the electrical properties of isotropic conductive adhesives (ICAs) were investigated in this work. The results showed that the bulk resistivity of ICAs cured by multi-step method was lower than that cured by the one-step method, even though they were cured for the same periods. It was also found that the electrical resistance of ICAs continued to decrease during the subsequent post-heating treatment processes. The in situ monitoring the variations in electrical resistance was studied during the curing and post-heating treatment process, and it was found that the cooling process continued to decrease the electrical resistivity of ICAs. The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicated that the internal stress of ICAs, which depended on the curing and post-heating treatment temperatures, had a significant effect on the electrical resistivity of ICAs. Meanwhile, it was proved that the bulk resistivity of ICAs increased as the internal stress of ICAs weakened by the addition of PEG.
