XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive, 3M™ Double Sided Tape 9712
Conductive Tape 9712 is an isotropically conductive pressure sensitive tape. The tape consists of a 3M adhesive loaded with conductive fibers. The result is a double-sided tape providing both good adhesion and good electrical performance with very high conductivity.
The 9712 Tape is an excellent choice when needing to bond your samples for all SEM work.

Based upon four wire (Kelvin probe) resistance measurements made with crossed pieces of Foil/Type 9712 or 9713/Rigid plate construction using a 1.0" x 1.0" square piece of 3M tape Type 9712 or 9713. The rigid metal surface was prepared with a Scotch-Brite™ pad to roughen the surface and cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
