The present disclosure relates to a method for curing a heat-curable material (1) in an embedded curing zone (2) and an assembly resulting from such method. The method comprises providing a heat-conducting strip (3) partially arranged between a component (9) and a substrate (10) that form the embedded curing zone (2) therein between. The heat-conducting strip (3) extends from the embedded curing zone (2) to a radiation-accessible zone (7) that is distanced from the embedded curing zone (2) and at least partially free of the component (9) and the substrate (10). The method further comprises irradiating the heat-conducting strip (3) in the radiation-accessible zone (7) by means of electromagnetic radiation (6). Heat (4a) generated by absorption of the electromagnetic radiation (6) in the heat-conducting strip (3) is conducted from the radiation-accessible zone (7) along a length of the heat-conducting strip (3) to the embedded curing zone (2) to cure the heat-curable material (1) by conducted heat (4b) emanating from the heat-conducting strip (3) into the embedded curing zone (2).

A light emitting device is manufactured by bonding an LED element on a wiring board using an anisotropic conductive adhesive. In the manufacture, the anisotropic conductive adhesive is disposed on the wiring board, and the LED element is disposed thereon. A polymerizable epoxy-modified silicone resin and a metal chelate compound are contained in the anisotropic conductive adhesive in advance. A pressing unit is pressed against the LED element for a certain pressing time, while the temperature of the wiring board is kept at 160 C. or higher and 210 C. or lower, and the temperature of the pressing unit is set lower than that of the wiring board. Since the reaction between the epoxy-modified silicone resin and the metal chelate compound occurs at a low temperature, the LED element is temporarily connected to the wiring board without collapse of a fluorescent layer.
