Abstract

The present invention is a method and structure which produces extremely thin, electrically conductive epoxy bonds between two substrates. Copper microspheres, having an average diameter of about 2 microns are bound in an epoxy layer which bonds two substrates together. The microspheres make electrical contact between the substrates while providing intersphere gaps which are filled with the epoxy which actually bonds the substrates together.
