Abstract
AbstractTo facilitate the fabrication of a reliable semiconductor package, the UV/heat dual curing of film adhesives was investigated. The curing system of the epoxy resin affected the film adhesive properties. As the UV/heat dual‐curable epoxy resin, a modified o‐cresol novolak epoxy resin, in which half of the glycidyl groups were substituted by acryloyl groups (OCN‐AE), was applied to the film adhesive. The formulated film adhesive contained acrylic copolymer, OCN‐AE, phenolic aralkyl resin as a heat‐curing agent of the glycidyl groups, and 1‐hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone as a photoinitiator of the acryloyl groups. The formulated reference film adhesive contained unmodified o‐cresol novolak epoxy resin (OCN‐E) in place of OCN‐AE. Formulated film adhesives containing a mixture of OCN‐E and o‐cresol novolak epoxy acrylate were also used as references. The morphology and the film adhesive properties were investigated. In these investigations, the film adhesive of OCN‐AE showed better adhesive properties, lower modulus, and a better stress‐relaxation ability than the referenced adhesives. As a result, a reliable film adhesive for semiconductor packages was successfully developed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
