  • Publication number: 20230250281
    Abstract: A resin composition contains a curable resin. A minimum value (Min) of loss tangent (tan? = E?/E?) of a cured product of the resin composition is equal to or greater than 0.04. The loss tangent is a ratio of a loss modulus (E?) of the cured product of the resin composition to a storage modulus (E?) thereof. The loss modulus (E?), the storage modulus (E?), and the loss tangent (tan? = E?/E?) are obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis at a temperature equal to or higher than 100° C. and equal to or lower than 200° C.

  • Patent number: 11234329
    Abstract: A prepreg is used to fabricate a semiconductor package including a chip and a substrate to mount the chip thereon. The prepreg is in a semi-cured state. The substrate includes a cured product of the prepreg. The chip has: a first chip surface located opposite from the substrate; and a second chip surface located opposite from the first chip surface. The prepreg satisfies the relational expression: 0.9?X2/X1?1.0 (I), where X1 is a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first chip surface of the chip before the chip is mounted on the substrate, and X2 is a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first chip surface of the chip after the chip has been mounted on the substrate.
