Abstract
An anisotropic elastomeric conductor is fabricated by stacking a plurality of first and second sheets, where the first sheets include a plurality of parallel electrically conductive fibers and the second sheets are composed of electrically insulating material. By introducing a curable elastomeric resin into the layered structure of sheets, and then curing the resin, a solid elastomeric block having a plurality of parallel electrically conductive fibers running its length is obtained. Individual elastomeric conductors suitable for interfacing between electronic components are obtained by slicing the block in a direction perpendicular to the conductors. The conductor slices so obtained are particularly suitable for interfacing between electronic devices having planar arrays of electrical contact pads.
