The acrylic polymer A is an acrylic polymer composed of a monomer composition containing 50% by weight or more of an acrylic acid ester represented by CH2?CHCOOR (wherein R is an alkyl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms) and 1% by weight to 30% by weight of a hydroxyl group-containing monomer and containing no carboxyl group-containing monomer. The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a surface free energy of 30 mJ/m2 or less. The die-bonding film is constituted by a resin composition containing an epoxy resin.
