Abstract
Description
Resin compositions, adhesives, sealing materials, cured products, semiconductor devices and electronic components
[0001] The present invention relates to a resinous composition, an adhesive or sealing material containing the same, a cured product thereof, and a semiconductor device and an electronic component containing the cured product.
[0002] Photo- and thermosetting resin compositions are known that can be temporarily fixed by irradiation with light and then fully cured by heating. More specifically, adhesives that are temporarily fixed by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and then fully cured by heat are used in many fields (e.g., Patent Documents 1 and 2). This type of adhesive is particularly popular for image sensor module applications.
[0003] Patent Document 3 discloses a photo- and thermosetting resin composition that has both excellent photocurability and excellent thermosetting properties, and when light irradiation is performed under conditions that produce unirradiated portions, subsequent heating can completely cure the entire composition including the unirradiated portions to produce a cured product with high adhesive strength, and also has good storage stability.The photo- and thermosetting resin composition includes: (1) a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group; (2) a polyene compound having two or more vinyl groups or allyl groups per molecule; (3) a polythiol compound having two or more thiol groups per molecule; (4) a photoradical generator; (5) a thermal radical generator; and (6) a thermal anionic polymerization initiator.

[0005] Bleeding is an issue in the assembly process of semiconductor modules. Bleeding is a phenomenon in which unreacted components seep out from the adhesive coating or cured product over time when an adhesive containing a curable resin composition is used to fix or bond components. The exuded components themselves are sometimes called "bleed." When bleed comes into contact with metal wiring on a substrate, it can cause electrical defects, resulting in a problem of reduced reliability and bonding strength of the semiconductor module.
[0006] In particular, when an adhesive containing a photo- and thermosetting resin composition is used in the assembly process of a semiconductor module (e.g., an image sensor module or a camera module), UV irradiation curing involves UV irradiation from the outside of the semiconductor module, which means that the inside of the semiconductor module is not exposed to UV light, and uncured portions of the adhesive may remain. Inner bleeding that occurs from the uncured portions of the adhesive tends to progress during storage at room temperature after UV irradiation and during subsequent thermal curing, increasing the length of the bleeding. Furthermore, depending on the location where the adhesive is applied, it may be shaded by a component, preventing UV irradiation, and therefore curing by thermal curing alone. Even in this case, there is a problem in that bleeding is likely to occur from the applied adhesive portion during storage at room temperature and thermal curing.
[0007] In recent years, there has been a growing demand for smaller and more highly integrated electronic components such as semiconductor chips, and the distance to the wiring parts arranged around the electronic components is becoming shorter. In semiconductor modules equipped with such smaller and more highly integrated electronic components, there is a problem that the bleeding phenomenon increases the risk of contact between the bleeding and the wiring parts.
[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide at least a thermosetting resin composition and an adhesive that can suppress the bleeding phenomenon.

[0034] As the component (B), any one of them may be used alone, or two or more of them may be used in combination.
[0035] In this specification, functional group equivalents such as thiol equivalent and (meth)acryloyl equivalent represent the molecular weight of a compound per functional group, and functional group equivalent numbers such as thiol group equivalent number and (meth)acryloyl group equivalent number represent the number of functional groups (equivalent number) per mass (charge amount) of a compound.
[0036] In the resin composition, the ratio of the number of (meth)acryloyl group equivalents of component (A) to the number of thiol group equivalents of component (B) ([number of (meth)acryloyl group equivalents of component (A)] / [number of thiol group equivalents of component (B)]) is preferably 0.25 to 3.0, more preferably 0.4 to 2.0, and even more preferably 0.5 to 1.5. Theoretically, the thiol equivalent of component (B) is the molecular weight of component (B) divided by the number of thiol groups in one molecule. The actual thiol equivalent can be determined, for example, by determining the thiol value by potentiometric measurement. This method is widely known and is disclosed, for example, in paragraph 0079 of JP 2012-153794 A. The thiol group equivalent number of component (B) is the number of thiol groups (equivalent number) per mass (charge amount) of component (B), and is the quotient obtained by dividing the mass (g) of the polyfunctional thiol compound (B) by the thiol equivalent of that thiol compound (when multiple thiol compounds are contained, the sum of such quotients for each thiol compound). Theoretically, the (meth)acryloyl equivalent number of the (A) (meth)acrylate compound is equal to the molecular weight of the (meth)acrylate compound divided by the number of acryloyl groups (or methacryloyl groups) in one molecule. The actual (meth)acryloyl equivalent number can be measured, for example, by NMR. The (meth)acryloyl group equivalent number of component (A) is the number of (meth)acryloyl groups (equivalent number) per mass (charge amount) of component (A), and is the quotient obtained by dividing the mass (g) of the (A) (meth)acrylate compound by the (meth)acryloyl equivalent of that (meth)acrylate compound (if multiple (meth)acrylate compounds are contained, the sum of such quotients for each (meth)acrylate compound). By setting the ratio [(meth)acryloyl group equivalent number of component (A)] / [thiol group equivalent number of component (B)] in the range of 0.25 to 3.0, a certain amount or more of (meth)acryloyl groups and thiol groups react, resulting in sufficient formation of molecular crosslinks and making it easier to demonstrate high adhesive strength.

The curing catalyst (C) used in this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is a curing catalyst for (meth)acrylate compounds, and known curing catalysts can be used, but it is preferably a latent curing catalyst. The latent curing catalyst of component (C) is a compound that is inactive at room temperature but is activated by heating to function as a curing catalyst.

[0046] The content of the curing catalyst (C) is preferably 0.1 to 40 mass %, more preferably 1 to 20 mass %, relative to the total mass of the resin composition, from the viewpoints of the curing rate and pot life of the resin composition.
[0047] (D) Zeolite Particles The resin composition of this embodiment contains (D) zeolite particles (hereinafter also referred to as "component (D)"). This makes it possible to obtain a resin composition that can suppress the bleeding phenomenon. It is believed that the high adsorption properties of zeolite allow components in the system that could cause bleeding to be adsorbed by the zeolite, thereby suppressing the bleeding phenomenon.
[0048] Zeolite is a general term for crystalline aluminosilicates, and its general composition is represented by the following formula (I): Mz + [(SiO 2 ) x (Al 2 O 3)y]z- (I) (In formula (I), M is an ion-exchangeable cation species, and typically represents a monovalent or divalent metal, z is the valence of M, and x and y are any integers.) Preferably, M is a metal atom selected from Groups 1 to 13, and more preferably a hydrogen ion (H + ), lithium ion (Li + ), sodium ions (Na + ), potassium ions (K + ), calcium ions (Ca 2+ ), magnesium ions (Mg 2+ ) and barium ions (Ba 2+ ) and x / y (SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 The molar ratio is, for example, 1 to 100, preferably 2 to 6. The zeolite represented by the formula (I) may be expressed as a general formula further including a hydrate. 2 / Al 2 O 3 The molar ratio can be measured using X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF).
[0049] Zeolites have a variety of crystal structures, including, for example, A-type, X-type, LSX-type, beta-type, ZSM-5-type, ferrierite-type, mordenite-type, L-type, and Y-type. In this embodiment, zeolites of any crystal structure can be used, but A-type, X-type, and LSX-type are preferred, A-type and X-type are more preferred, and A-type is even more preferred. Zeolites generally have cations in their crystal structure, and these cations compensate for the negative charge in the crystal structure composed of aluminosilicate, thereby making up for the lack of positive charge. Examples of cations include hydrogen ions, lithium ions, calcium ions, sodium ions, potassium ions, magnesium ions, and barium ions.
[0050] In this embodiment, the zeolite is in a particulate form, and the average particle size of the (D) zeolite particles is preferably 1 μm or less, more preferably 10 nm to 1 μm, and even more preferably 10 nm to 500 nm, from the viewpoint of better bleed suppression. In one aspect, the particle size of the (D) zeolite particles is 10 nm to 250 nm. In this case, the bleed suppression effect is particularly remarkable. In another aspect, the particle size of the (D) zeolite particles is 250 nm to 1 μm. In this case, both the bleed suppression effect and workability can be achieved.
[0051] From the viewpoints of suppressing bleeding and improving the workability of the resin composition, the content of the (D) zeolite particles is preferably 0.01% by mass or more, more preferably 0.05% by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, relative to the total mass of the resin composition. Also, the content is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 8% by mass or less, and even more preferably 5% by mass or less. In one embodiment, the content is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 8% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass.
[0052] (E) Surfactant The resin composition of this embodiment can further contain (E) a surfactant (hereinafter also referred to as "component (E)"). This can achieve a further bleeding suppression effect. Known surfactants can be used as (E). Preferred surfactants include surfactants having one or more, preferably two or more, hydrophilic groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups in the molecule, and surfactants having two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule are more preferred. Among such surfactants, surfactants having a hydrophilic portion containing a cyclic structure and / or gemini surfactants are more preferred. When the resin composition contains a surfactant having one or more hydrophilic groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups in the molecule, the surfactant is coordinated at the interface between the resin and the substrate, and the hydrophilic portion (particularly the hydroxyl group or carbonyl group) of the surfactant interacts with the substrate, exerting a pinning effect and further suppressing bleeding.
[0053] The cyclic structure in the surfactant having a hydrophilic portion containing a cyclic structure includes an alicyclic hydrocarbon group such as cyclopentane or cyclohexane, or an alicyclic heterocyclic group such as tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydropyran. This cyclic structure is preferably substituted with one or more, preferably two or more, substituents selected from a hydroxyl group, a carbonyl group, and an ester bond. This cyclic structure is bonded to the hydrophobic portion with or without a spacer group containing a group selected from a hydroxyl group, a carbonyl group, and an ester bond. Examples of such compounds include compounds in which a cyclic structure such as tetrahydrofuran is bonded to a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid. This allows the molecule to contain multiple hydrophilic groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups in a compact region, which is thought to enhance interaction with the substrate and further suppress bleeding.
[0054] A gemini surfactant is a surfactant in which a plurality of, typically two, surfactants each having one hydrophobic chain and one hydrophilic group, i.e., a monomeric surfactant, are bonded via a spacer. In this embodiment, the gemini surfactant can have two or more hydrophilic groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups in the molecule, which is thought to enhance the interaction with the substrate and further suppress bleeding.
[0055] Examples of surfactants having one or more hydrophilic groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups in the molecule include compounds represented by the following general formulas (5) to (7): Compound represented by general formula (5): In formula (5), X is carbon (C) or oxygen (O), and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen (H), a hydroxyl group (OH), -(CH 2 ) n -OC(=O)-R 5 where R 5 is the hydrocarbon chain of a fatty acid, n is 0 to 3, (CH 2 ) nEach hydrogen atom in the R group may be independently replaced with a hydroxyl group; 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 At least one of the following is -(CH 2 ) n -OC(=O)-R 5 and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 At least one of the groups is a hydroxyl group, or (CH 2 ) n The hydrogen of the group is replaced with a hydroxyl group, so that the compound has at least one hydroxyl group. 5 The hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid in the formula (5) has, for example, 10 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 11 to 18 carbon atoms, and more preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid may contain a carbon-carbon double bond, and the number of carbon-carbon double bonds is, for example, 0 to 5, preferably 0 to 3, and more preferably 0 to 2. When a carbon-carbon double bond is contained, both the cis- and trans-isomers are included in the compound of formula (5). Preferably, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 Two of the groups are hydroxyl groups. 2 ) n The hydrogen of the group is replaced with at least one hydroxyl group. 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 Two of the groups are hydroxyl groups, and (CH 2 ) n The hydrogen of the group is replaced with at least one hydroxyl group.

[0062] From the viewpoint of suppressing bleeding, the content of the surfactant (E) is preferably 0.1 to 10 mass %, more preferably 0.2 to 7 mass %, and even more preferably 0.3 to 5 mass %, relative to the total mass of the resin composition.
[0063] (F) Rubber Component The resin composition of the present embodiment may further contain (F) a rubber component (hereinafter also referred to as "component (F)"). This can provide an even greater bleeding suppression effect. It is believed that the rubber component acts as a steric hindrance and inhibits the resin flow of the resin composition, thereby further suppressing bleeding.
[0064] The type of rubber component is not particularly limited. Preferred monomers constituting the rubber component include ethylene, propylene, butadiene, styrene, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid esters, methacrylic acid esters, urethane, epoxypropyl methacrylate, divinylbenzene, and various derivatives.

Among these, from the viewpoint of suppressing bleeding, a rubber component made of any one of acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile / butadiene copolymer rubber, silicone rubber, and silicone / acrylic composite rubber is more preferable. These rubber components may be crosslinked or uncrosslinked. The crosslinking method for the rubber is selected depending on the type of rubber component, and examples include sulfur crosslinking, peroxide crosslinking, resin crosslinking, amine crosslinking, polyol crosslinking, oxime crosslinking, and metal crosslinking. The (F) rubber component may be solid at 25°C or liquid at 25°C.
[0065] When the (F) rubber component is solid at 25°C, the form of the (F) rubber component is not particularly limited, and examples include granular, powdery, and pellet-like forms.

The granular rubber component may be rubber particles having a core-shell structure, specifically, rubber particles having the aforementioned rubber component as a core and further having a shell made of a polymer of a radically polymerizable compound coating the outside. When the (F) rubber component is granular, the average particle diameter of the (F) rubber component is preferably 0.01 μm to 20 μm, more preferably 0.02 μm to 10 μm, and even more preferably 0.03 μm to 5 μm. In this specification, the average particle diameter of the rubber particles is the arithmetic (number) average particle diameter, which can be measured using a dynamic light scattering method. For example, rubber particles can be dispersed in an appropriate organic solvent and measured using a particle size distribution analyzer.

[0074] (H) Filler The resin composition of this embodiment may contain (H) filler (hereinafter also referred to as "component (H)") within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. By containing (H) filler in the resin composition, the linear expansion coefficient of the cured product obtained by curing the resin composition can be reduced, and thermal cycle resistance can be improved. Furthermore, if the filler has a low elastic modulus, it can alleviate stress generated in the cured product, improving long-term reliability. (H) fillers are broadly classified into inorganic fillers and organic fillers.
[0075] The inorganic filler is not particularly limited as long as it is a granular material formed from an inorganic material and has the effect of lowering the linear expansion coefficient when added. However, in this specification, (D) zeolite particles are excluded from (H) filler (or inorganic filler).

As the inorganic filler, any one type may be used, or two or more types may be used in combination. As the inorganic filler, silica filler is preferably used because it can increase the loading amount. As the silica, amorphous silica is preferred.
[0076] The inorganic filler is preferably one whose surface has been treated with a coupling agent such as a silane coupling agent, which allows the viscosity of the resin composition to fall within an appropriate range.
[0077] Examples of the organic filler include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filler, silicone filler, acrylic filler, styrene filler, etc. The particulate (F) rubber component is excluded from the (H) filler (or organic filler).

[0079] In one embodiment, the average particle size of the filler is preferably 5.0 μm or less, more preferably 4.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 3.0 μm or less. In this specification, the average particle size refers to the volume-based median diameter (d 50 ), or a value calculated as the number average of 50 measurements arbitrarily selected from observation images obtained by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM). By setting the average particle size of the filler to the upper limit or less, sedimentation of the filler can be suppressed, and the formation of coarse particles can be suppressed, thereby preventing clogging of the dispenser nozzle. The lower limit of the average particle size of the filler is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the viscosity of the resin composition, it is preferably 0.005 μm or more, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more. In one aspect of this embodiment, the average particle size of the filler (H) is preferably 0.01 μm to 5.0 μm, and more preferably 0.1 μm to 3.0 μm. Fillers with different average particle sizes may be used in combination. For example, a filler having an average particle size of 0.005 μm or more but less than 0.1 μm may be used in combination with a filler having an average particle size of 0.1 μm to 5.0 μm.
[0080] The content of the filler (H) in the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 0.5 to 80% by mass, more preferably 1 to 70% by mass, and even more preferably 3 to 60% by mass, based on the total mass of the resin composition. By setting the content of the filler (H) within this range, thermal cycle resistance is improved, and the viscosity of the resin composition is set within an appropriate range, improving applicability in dispensers.
[0081] (I) Stabilizer The resin composition of this embodiment may contain (I) a stabilizer (hereinafter also referred to as "component (I)") to the extent that the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0085] When an anionic polymerization inhibitor is contained, the content of the anionic polymerization inhibitor is preferably 0.001 to 5 mass %, more preferably 0.01 to 3 mass %, based on the total mass of the resin composition.
[0086] The resin composition may further contain, as necessary, a solvent, a coupling agent, carbon black, titanium black, an ion trapping agent, a leveling agent, an antioxidant, an antifoaming agent, a thixotropic agent, a viscosity modifier, a flame retardant, and / or other additives, within a range that does not impair the object of this embodiment.
[0087] The resin composition can be obtained, for example, by stirring, melting, mixing, and / or dispersing components (A) to (D), and optionally components (E), (F), (G), (H), and (I), and / or other additives, simultaneously or separately, while optionally applying heat treatment. The apparatus used for mixing, stirring, dispersing, etc. is not particularly limited. Examples of apparatus that can be used include a Raikai mixer, Henschel mixer, three-roll mill, ball mill, planetary mixer, and bead mill equipped with a stirring and heating device. These apparatuses may also be used in appropriate combinations.
[0088] The resin composition thus obtained has photocurability and thermosetting properties, and can be sufficiently cured by heat curing alone. When the resin composition is used in an image sensor module, the heat curing temperature of the resin composition is preferably 60 to 90°C.
[0089] The resin composition of this embodiment can be used, for example, as an adhesive, sealant, or damming agent for fixing, adhering, or protecting components, and as a raw material thereof, and is suitable as a one-component type. Here, the damming agent is formed, for example, around the periphery of a substrate before sealing multiple semiconductor chips or the like on the substrate with a low-viscosity filler or the like. The formation of a dam by this damming agent can prevent the subsequent outflow of the low-viscosity filler that seals the multiple semiconductor chips. Furthermore, adhesives containing the resin composition of this embodiment enable good bonding to engineering plastics, ceramics, and metals.
[0090] [Adhesive or Sealant] An adhesive or sealant according to a second embodiment of the present invention comprises the resin composition of the first embodiment described above. This adhesive or sealant enables good bonding to engineering plastics, ceramics, and metals. The adhesive or sealant of this embodiment is preferably used to fix, bond, or protect components that constitute an image sensor or camera module.
[0091] [Cured Product of Resin Composition, Adhesive, or Sealant] The cured product of the third embodiment of the present invention is a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition of the first embodiment or the adhesive or sealant of the second embodiment described above.
[0092] [Semiconductor Device, Electronic Component] A semiconductor device or electronic component according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention includes the cured product according to the third embodiment. Here, the term "semiconductor device" refers to any device that can function by utilizing semiconductor properties, including electronic components, semiconductor circuits, modules incorporating these, and electronic devices. Examples of semiconductor devices or electronic components include, but are not limited to, HDDs, semiconductor elements, sensor modules such as image sensor modules, camera modules, semiconductor modules, and integrated circuits. In one aspect, the semiconductor device or electronic component may be an image sensor or camera module.
[0093] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the following examples, parts and % represent parts by mass and % by mass unless otherwise specified.
[0094] [Examples 1 to 19, Comparative Examples 1 to 4] Resin compositions were prepared by mixing predetermined amounts of each component using a three-roll mill according to the formulations shown in Table 1. In Table 1, the amount of each component is expressed in parts by mass (unit: g). The components used in the examples and comparative examples are as follows.
[0095] (A) (meth)acrylate compound (component (A)) (A-1): Polyester acrylate manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd. (product name: M7100, acryloyl equivalent: 188 g / eq) (A-2): Dimethylol-tricyclodecane diacrylate manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd. (product name: Light Acrylate DCP-A, acryloyl equivalent: 152 g / eq) (A-3): Neopentyl glycol-modified trimethylolpropane diacrylate manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. (product name: Kayarad R-604, acryloyl equivalent: 163 g / eq) (B) Polythiol compound (component (B)) (B-1): Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) manufactured by SC Organic Chemical Co., Ltd. (product name: PEMP, thiol equivalent: 122 g / eq) (B-2): Thiol glycoluril derivative manufactured by Shikoku Chemical Industries, Ltd. (product name: C3 TS-G, thiol equivalent: 114 g / eq) (C) Curing catalyst (component (C)) (C-1): Solid dispersion type latent curing catalyst manufactured by T&K TOKA Corporation (product name: FXR1121) (D) Zeolite particles (component (D)) (D-1): Zeolite particles manufactured by Nakamura Choukou (product name: Zeoal4A 300 nm) (D-2): Zeolite particles manufactured by Nakamura Choukou (product name: Zeoal4A 50 nm) (D') Filler other than zeolite particles (component (D')) (D'-1): Calcium carbonate manufactured by Ube Material Industries, Ltd. (product name: CS3NA) (E) Surfactant (component (E)) (E-1): Sorbitan laurate (product name: D-931) manufactured by Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd. (F) Rubber (component (F)) (F-1): Butadiene-acrylonitrile-2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate-divinylbenzene polymer compound (product name: XER81) manufactured by JSR Corporation (G) Photoradical initiator (component (G)) (G-1): α-Aminoalkylphenone manufactured by IGM Resins B.V.1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone (product name: Omnirad 184) (H) Filler (component (H)) (H-1): calcium carbonate manufactured by Ube Material Industries, Ltd. (product name: CS3NA) Note that, although component (D'-1) and component (H-1) are the same component, for convenience, in Comparative Example 2, for comparison with Examples 1 to 3 which contain component (D), they are expressed as (D') filler other than zeolite particles, and in Examples 15 to 19 and Comparative Example 4, they are expressed as (H) filler which may be further contained.
[0096] [Bleeding Evaluation] 1.5 mg of the resin compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples were potted onto a ceramic substrate that had been plasma-treated with argon (Ar) gas using a dispenser. After potting, the resin compositions were left at room temperature for 5 minutes and then thermally cured at 80°C for 60 minutes. The length of bleeding that occurred on the ceramic substrate from the cured resin composition was measured using a CCD camera (N = 3 pcs × 2 sides). The results are shown in Table 1.
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] It can be seen that the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 3, by including (D) zeolite particles, significantly suppressed the bleeding phenomenon compared to the resin composition of Comparative Example 1, which did not include (D) zeolite particles, and the resin composition of Comparative Example 2, which included a filler other than (D') zeolite particles (calcium carbonate filler) instead of (D) zeolite particles. It can be seen that the resin compositions of Examples 4 to 6, which varied the types and amounts of the (A) (meth)acrylate compound and the (B) polythiol compound, significantly suppressed the bleeding phenomenon compared to the resin composition of Comparative Example 1, which did not include (D) zeolite particles, by including (D) zeolite particles. It can be seen that the resin compositions of Examples 7 to 9, by including (D) zeolite particles and at least one of (E) surfactant and (F) rubber component, significantly suppressed the bleeding phenomenon. In Examples 10 to 14 and Comparative Example 3, which contain a (G) photoradical initiator, the inclusion of (D) zeolite particles (Examples 10 to 14) significantly suppresses the bleeding phenomenon compared to a resin composition that does not contain (D) zeolite particles (Comparative Example 3).In Examples 15 to 19 and Comparative Example 4, which contain a (H) filler, the inclusion of (D) zeolite particles (Examples 15 to 19) significantly suppresses the bleeding phenomenon compared to a resin composition that does not contain (D) zeolite particles (Comparative Example 4).
[0100] The present invention provides a resin composition that is at least thermosetting and capable of suppressing the bleeding phenomenon, and is particularly useful as an adhesive or sealant used for fixing, adhering, or protecting components of miniaturized or highly integrated semiconductor modules.
