Solution Overview

Problem

Large-area substrates experience significant warpage when encapsulated with thermosetting resins due to differences in thermal expansion coefficients, which complicates subsequent processing steps.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition combining epoxy resin, a polyalkylene glycol chain compound, and an inorganic filler, particularly spherical silica, is used to suppress warpage in substrates with areas of 7000 mm2 or more, optimizing the composition's content and molecular weight to enhance thermal stability and fluidity.
