Curable epoxy resin composition and optical semiconductor device using said resin composition

Abstract

A curable epoxy resin composition according to the present invention is a curable epoxy resin composition which includes a rubber-particle-dispersed epoxy compound (A) including an alicyclic epoxy compound and, dispersed therein, rubber particles. The curable epoxy resin composition further includes an alumina (B); and an aliphatic polyglycidyl ether (C) having a viscosity of 8000 mPa·s or more at 25° C. The rubber particles include a polymer derived from a (meth)acrylic ester as an essential monomer component, have hydroxyl group and/or carboxyl group on a surface thereof, and have an average particle diameter of 10 nm to 500 nm and a maximum particle diameter of 50 nm to 1000 nm. The curable epoxy resin composition gives a cured product having a refractive index with a difference from the refractive index of the rubber particles of within ±0.03.
