Abstract
This invention relates to thermosetting resin compositions useful as underfill sealants for mounting to a circuit board semiconductor device packages, which have a semiconductor chip on a carrier substrate. Reaction products of these compositions demonstrate improved adhesion after exposure to elevated temperature conditions, improved resistance to moisture absorption and improved resistance to stress cracking.
