History of Anisotropic Conductive Film

Post by Designer on Thursday, July 28, 2011

History of Anisotropic Conductive Film.ACAs developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s,  with heat seal connectors by Nippon Graphite Industries,  and ACFs by Hitachi Chemicals  and Sony Chemicals & Information Devices.   Currently there are many manufacturers of heat seal connectors and ACAs, but Hitachi and Sony continue to dominate the industry in terms of market share. Other manufacturers of ACAs include 3m,  Loctite,  and Delo  among others.

In the very early years, ACAs were made from rubber, acrylic, and other adhesive compounds, but they rapidly converged on several different variations of thermoset biphenyl type epoxy resins. The temperatures required were relatively high at 170-180C, however, and the market leaders Sony and Hitachi developed and released acrylic-based materials in the early 2000s that brought the curing temperatures down below 150C while keeping the curing times in the 10-12 second range. Further advances in the acrylic compounds used decreased the curing cycle times to below 5 seconds in many cases, which is where they remain as of this writing. Specification sheets are available at all of the manufacturers' sites listed above.
