Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a high-reliability bottom filling material with good electrical insulation, belonging to the field of adhesives. Background Art
[0002] As the integration of electronic devices increases, device pin sizes and pitches shrink, placing increasingly stringent demands on the solder joints' ability to withstand impact stress and maintain electrical insulation. Underfill technology utilizes an epoxy resin material applied to the underside of the device to provide superior device protection. During temperature cycling, device solder joints are subject to additional stress, and underfill materials effectively absorb this stress. Under high temperature and humidity can cause short circuits between closely spaced solder joints, and underfill materials improve electrical insulation between these joints. Advanced underfill technology can meet the increasingly stringent reliability requirements of electronic devices.
[0003] The rapid development of underfill technology has led to the problem that traditional underfill materials have poor protection for the solder joints of electronic device pins during temperature cycling and high-temperature and high-humidity aging, which seriously affects the reliability of electronic devices. Summary of the Invention

The present invention addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a high-reliability underfill material with excellent electrical insulation. The resulting underfill material exhibits excellent electrical insulation, high and low temperature resistance, and high temperature and humidity resistance. Compared to traditional underfill materials, it offers significant advantages, resulting in higher reliability for electronic devices.
