Conductive Adhesives: Markets and Opportunities -- An Important New Study
AMHERST, N.H.--Jan. 17, 2000--Recent improvements in their performance are fueling a growing trend toward the use of electrically-conductive adhesives. New formulations of conductive adhesives, able to withstand temperature and mechanical stresses with little degradation in performance, are recording design wins in a wide range of applications.In the manufacture of electronic devices, conductive adhesives are being used increasingly for the mechanical and electrical bonding of chips, packages, substrates, heat sinks, housings and other components. Demand for electrically conductive adhesives is also growing in major OEM markets, particularly in automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and medical product applications.
Escalating interest in conductive adhesives is being driven by technology advances in the electronics sector. New advances in silicon devices are driving increases in chip speed and device density. These new designs require larger numbers of interconnects to and from the devices, improved electrical performance, and new materials. The influence of these events is creating significant opportunities for materials suppliers. Based on their ability to bond dissimilar materials and withstand electronics fabrication processes, conductive adhesives are uniquely positioned to benefit from these trends.
To take advantage of the opportunities presented by these new technology and market developments, materials suppliers must be fully aware of the market potential of conductive adhesives, as well as the design and product objectives of major manufacturers. Suppliers must also be willing to act on this information by teaming with manufacturers to develop the assembly processes and pilot programs that will be required to bring these new applications to market.
Conductive Adhesives: Markets and Opportunities has been researched and written to be of maximum value to conductive adhesives suppliers. It consists of in-depth analyses, descriptions and evaluations of current and probable future market developments, technology issues and business factors - information necessary to compete effectively in this evolving market.
We believe Conductive Adhesives: Markets and Opportunities to be an important publication for adhesives marketing professionals. Published in November, the study is available for immediate delivery.
