  • Patent number: 9994743
    Abstract: This adhesive contains an epoxy compound, a cationic catalyst, and an acrylic resin that includes acrylic acid and an acrylic acid ester having a hydroxyl group. The acrylic acid in the acrylic resin reacts with the epoxy compound, creating a link between the acrylic resin island part and the epoxy compound sea part, and strengthening the anchoring effect with respect to the epoxy compound sea part by roughening the surface of an oxide film. Furthermore, the hydroxyl-group-containing acrylic acid ester in the acrylic resin becomes electrostatically adhesive to wiring due to the polarity of the hydroxyl group. Excellent adhesive strength can be obtained by adhering, in this way, the entire cured product composed of the acrylic resin island part and the epoxy compound sea part to the oxide film.

  • Patent number: 9957411
    Abstract: An underfill material achieving a wide margin for mounting and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the same are provided. The underfill material contains an epoxy resin, an acid anhydride, an acrylic resin, and an organic peroxide, wherein a minimum melt viscosity attainment temperature and a minimum melt viscosity obtained when melt viscosity of the underfill material is measured under a temperature increase rate condition in a range of 5 to 50° C./min are in a range of 100° C. to 150° C. and in a range of 100 to 5000 Pa·s, respectively. Since variation in the minimum melt viscosity attainment temperature measured under different temperature increase conditions is small, voidless mounting and good solder bonding properties can be achieved without strict control on the temperature profile during thermocompression bonding, and a wide margin for mounting can be achieved.
