Abstract

Abstract Anisotropic conductive material is employed instead of solder for connecting between the terminal of a component and a printed circuit board. In addition to the printed circuit board, a printed circuit sheet is provided and the terminal of the component is sandwiched between both anisotropic materials on the printed circuit board and beneath the printed circuit sheet. From both outside surfaces of the printed circuit board and the sheet, heat and pressure are simultaneously applied to the terminal part (i.e. thermocompression bonding).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 120 words
A method of mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of: attaching anisotropic conductive material to a lower wiring pattern which is printed on a lower insulating board or sheet; attaching anisotropic conductive material beneath an upper wiring pattern which is printed beneath an upper insulating sheet or board; sandwiching terminals of said electronic component between a) said anisotropic conductive material on said lower wiring pattern printed on said lower insulating board or sheet and b) said anisotropic conductive material beneath said upper wiring pattern printed beneath said upper insulating sheet or board; and bonding by thermocompression from both outside surfaces of said lower insulating board or sheet and said upper insulating sheet or board.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 120 words
A method of mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of: attaching anisotropic conductive material to a lower wiring pattern which is printed on a lower insulating board or sheet; attaching anisotropic conductive material beneath an upper wiring pattern which is printed beneath an upper insulating sheet or board; sandwiching terminals of said electronic component between a) said anisotropic conductive material on said lower wiring pattern printed on said lower insulating board or sheet and b) said anisotropic conductive material beneath said upper wiring pattern printed beneath said upper insulating sheet or board; and bonding by thermocompression from both outside surfaces of said lower insulating board or sheet and said upper insulating sheet or board.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method of mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 wherein said electronic component is previously bonded by adhesive on said lower printed circuit board.
