Abstract: Provided are flux-compatible epoxy-anhydride compositions useful as low-gap underfill adhesives. The flux-compatible epoxy-anhydride compositions include an epoxy component and an anhydride composition comprising a monofunctional anhydride and at least one difunctional anhydride and optionally at least one polyfunctional anhydride. The flux-compatible compositions are useful as an underfilling sealant which (1) rapidly fills the underfill space in a semiconductor device, such as a flip chip assembly, (2) enables the device to be securely connected to a circuit board by short-time heat curing and with good productivity, and (3) demonstrates excellent solder reflow resistance.

Abstract: A curing agent for epoxy resin has one or more five- or six-membered aromatic rings, and substituted on the one or more five- or six-membered rings at least two functionalities reactive with the epoxy selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amine, imidazole, azine, hydrazide, anhydride, and Lewis acid groups. Choice of functionality can provide a mixed polymer network, one with a more densely cross-linked polymer structure having a high Tg, and the other with a more linear polymer structure to contribute to stress reduction.
