Die attach adhesive compositions exhibit improved adhesion and conductivity by the addition of a metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative as an adhesion and/or conductivity promoter. The metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative is formed by coordination with a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Yt, La, Pb, Sb, Bi, Cr, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Ce, and Pr. Examples of quinolinol derivative salts have the structures: |
