To provide a resin
varnish from which a resin composition excellent in moldability can be obtained even if a
drying temperature is increased, and a prepreg, a resin film, a laminate, a printed wiring board and a
semiconductor package manufacturing method, each of which is obtained using the resin
varnish.SOLUTION: A resin
varnish is provided, containing (A) one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of a
maleimide resin having one or more N-substituted
maleimide groups and a derivative of the
maleimide resin, (B) a polyphenylene
ether-based resin having a functional group containing an ethylenic unsaturated bond, (C) a styrenic
thermoplastic resin having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of more than 10,000 and less than 100,000, (D) an
organic peroxide, and (E) an
organic solvent. A prepreg, a resin film, a laminate, a printed wiring board and a
semiconductor package manufacturing method are also provided each of which is obtained using the resin varnish.SELECTED DRAWING: None
