Abstract

Electrical interconnection is established by means of an anisotropically conductive, composite layer medium comprising electrically conductive particles in a nonconductive matrix material. Enhanced uniformity of conductivity across the medium, and minimized incidence of lateral shorting are achieved as a result of essentially uniform distribution of electrically conductive particles which are also magnetic, such distribution resulting upon application of a magnetic field essentially perpendicular to a layer before or during hardening of the matrix material.
