DESCRIPTION
SILICA POWDER, PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION AND ITS USE + TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a silica powder, a process for its production and its use.
BACKGROUND ART
To meet requirements for downsizing, weight saving and high performance of electronic equipment, downsizing, reduction in thickness and high densification of semiconductors are rapidly in progress. Further, with respect to the mounting method for semiconductors, surface mounting suitable for high density mounting on a printed board or the like ig predominant. In recent years, for a semiconductor of such a surface mounting type, an ultrathin semiconductor package has been used to lower the mounting height on a printed board, whereby the thickness of the package has become very thin. More recently, a PoP (Package on Package) mounting method to mount another semiconductor on a semiconductor, has been practically used, whereby reduction in thickness of semiconductors has been in progress more than ever.
On the other hand, from an increasing consciousness about environmental problems in recent years, it has been commen: to use a lead-free solder which does not contain lead having a large environmental load, for mounting a semiconductor on a circuit board, and the temperature at the time of mounting has become higher by a few tens degrees in centigrade than ever. Namely, a semiconductor package which has become thinner than ever, is mounted as exposed to a temperature higher than ever, whereby a problem of package cracking has become frequented, and a sealing material for semiconductors is required to have the flexural strength, solder cracking resistance, etc. further improved.
In order to satisfy such requirements, it has been attempted to improve the flexural strength or to reduce the stress by such a means to improve e.g. an epoxy resin or phenol resin curing agent to be used for the sealing 1s material for semiconductors (Patént Documents 1 and 23.
However, the effects to improve the flexural strength by such means have been inadequate, and there has been no sealing material for semiconductors whereby a package thinner than ever is durable at a mounting temperature with a lead-free solder and the solder cracking resistance can be remarkably improved.
Further, as a method of modifying a ceramic powder, a case may be mentioned wherein for the purpose of improving the high temperature storage property 28 (reliability) of a sealing material for semiconductors, the chemical adsorption of ammonia is controlled, and impurities in the sealing material for semiconductors are trapped (Patent Document 3).

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION | .
The present invention provides a resin composition, particularly a resin composition as a sealing material for semiconductors, having the flexural strength and solder cracking resistance improved, and a silica powder useful for the preparation of such a resin composition.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Now, the present invention will be described in detail.
The silica powder of the present invention is a silica powder which has a Freundlich adsorption constant
K of pyridine of from 1.3 to 5.0. Pyridine as a basic substance will be adsorbed to acid points on the surface of the silica powder. Accordingly, the value of the adsorption constant K of this substance being large means that the number of acid points on the surface of the silica powder is large. When acid points of the silica powder are many, bonding points with a basic silane coupling agent such as aminosilane or phenylaminosilane will be many. Accordingly, the adhesion between the silica powder surface and a resin component such as an epoxy resin or a phencl resin in a sealing agent for semiconductors will be firmer, whereby the flexural strength will be improved, and moisture tends to hardly penetrate into the interface between the silica powder and the resin component, and thus the solder cracking. resistance will alsc be remarkably improved.
If the Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine is less than 1.3, bonding points of the silica powder with the silane coupling agent will be less, whereby it ~ becomes impossible to remarkably improve the solder cracking resistance or flexural strength of the sealing material for semiconductors. On the other hand, if the
Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine exceeds 5.0, the number of acid points on the surface of the silica powder will be too many, whereby the epoxy resin will be cured. Conseguently, there will be problem such that at the time of packaging a semiconductor by means of a sealing material for semiconductors, the vigcosity of the sealing material increases, and the moldability will be impaired. The value of the Freundlich adsorption constant XK of pyridine is preferably from 1.5 to 4.5, particularly preferably from 2.0 to 4.3. These values : are unique and distinct as compared with from 0.07 to 0.8 i.e. the value of the Freundlich adsorption constant K of conventional silica powder.
The Freundlich adsorption constant XK of pyridine can be measured by the following procedure. (1) Preparation of pyridine standard solutions: 0.1 mol of pyridine for spectrometry is taken into a 500 ml measuring flask and adjusted to the constant volume with n-heptane for spectrometry. Then, 0.25 ml, 0.50 wl and 1.00 ml of such a pyridine solution are, regpectively, taken into 200 ml measuring flasks and adjusted to the constant velume with n-heptane to prepare pyridine standard solutions of 0.25 mmol/l, 0.50 mmol/l and 1.00 mmol /1, (2) Adsorption on silica powder: 4.00 g each of silica powder preliminarily dried under heating at 200°C for 2 hours, followed by cooing in a desiccator, is accurately weighed and put into three 25 ml measuring flasks. Into the respective measuring flasks, 20 ml of the pyridine standard solutions of 0.25% mmol/L, 0.50 mmol/l and 1.00 mmol/l are put and mixed by shaking for 3 minutes. These measuring flasks are immersed in a constant temperature tank set at 25°C for 2 hours to have pyridine adsorbed on the silica powder. (3) Measurement of adsorbed amount of pyridine: From the above measuring flasks having the pyridine standard solutions and silica powders mixed therein, the supernatants were respectively taken and put into measuring cells of an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and the concentration of residual pyridine remaining without being adsorbed is quantified by the absorbance.
(4) Calculation of Freundlich adsorption constant XK of pyridine: The Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine is calculated by the Freundlich adsorption formula of logA=logK+ (1l/n)logC.
Namely, when a graph is . drawn so that Y axis represents logh and X axis represents (1/n)logC, logK is obtained from Y-intercept,
whereby K can be calculated.
Here, A is the amount (umol/g) of pyridine adsorbed on 1 g of silica powder, C ig the concentration (pmol/ml}) of residual pyridine in the supernatant, and K and n are constants.
: Here, as an example of the ultraviolet-vigible spectrophotometer to be used for the measurement, “Ultraviolet-visible Spectrophotometer, Model UV-1800*, tradename, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation may be mentioned.
As examples of the reagents to be used for preparation of the pyridine standard solutions, pyridine
(spectrometry grade) and n-heptane (spectrometry grade), manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., may be mentioned.
Further, the wavelength for measurement of the absorbance was 251 nm, and only n-heptane was measured, and background correction was carried out.
For the preparation of a calibration curve, the pyridine standard solutions of 0.00 mmmol/l, 0.25 mmol/l, 0.50 mmol/l and 1.00 mmol/l were used.

Further, a characteristic of the silica powder of the present invention is that the total of contents (as calculated as oxides) of Si0,, Al,0; and B;03; is at least 99.5 mass%, and the total of contents of Al,0, and B,0O, is - from 0.1 to 20 mass%. If the total of contents of SiQ,,
Al;0; and B20: is less than 99.5 masss, l.e. if the content other than Si0;, Al;0; and B;0; exceeds 0.5 mass%, when the powder is formed into a sealing material for semiconductors, unnecessary substances will increase as 1¢ impurities, such being undesirable. For example, Na,Q,
Fey0:, etc., are likely to be partially ionized and elute to present damages to semiconductor chips or wirings.
MgO, X;0, Cal, etc. are likely to increase the thermal expansion coefficient of silica powder and thus present an adverse effect to the solder cracking resistance.
The total of contents of 8i0,, Al.0; and B20; is preferably at least 99.6 mass%, more preferably at least 99.7 mass%.
Further, the total of contents of 21,0; and B20; in the silica powder is preferably from 0.1 to 20 mass%.
When Al and B are present in the silica powder, the positions of Al and B will be strong acid points. By such acid points, bonding points of the silica powder surface with the basic silane coupling agent will increase, whereby the flexural strength and the solder cracking resistance will be improved. If the total of contents of Al,0; and B,0s ig less than 0.1 mass%, the increase of acid points tends to be inadeguate. On the other hand, if it exceeds 20 mass%, the thermal expansion coefficient of the silica powder tends to be too large, which is likely to adversely affect the solder cracking resistance. The total of contents of Al,0; and R05; ig more preferably from 0.2 to 18 mass%, further preferably from 0.3 to 15 mass%. or The SiO; content (as calculated as an oxide) in the silica powder of the present invention can be measured by : a mass reduction method, the Al,0; content (as calculated as an oxide} can be measured by an atomic adsorption analysis, and the B,0. content (as calculated as an oxide) can be measured by an ICP emission gpectrometry, © as follows. (1} Measurement of 8i0, content: 2.5 g of silica powder is accurately weighed on a platinum dish, and special grade reagent hydrofluoric acid, special grade reagent sulfuric acid and pure water are added in amounts of 20 ml, 1 ml and 1 ml, respectively. Such a platinum dish is left to stand still for 15 minutes on a sand bath heated at 300°C to let the powder dissolve and be dried.
Then, into a muffle furnace heated at 1,000, the platinum dish is put and heated for 10 minutes to let fluosilicic acid evaporate. In a desiccator, the platinum dish ig left to cool to room temperature, and ‘then, the mass of the platinum dish is accurately weighed, whereupon the content of $i0, in the silica powder ig calculated from the mass reduction. (2) Measurement of Al.O; content: 1 g of gilica powder is accurately weighed on a platinum dish, and special reagent hydrofluoric acid and special reagent oo perchloric acid are added in amounts of 20 ml and 1 ml, respectively. Such a platinum dish is left to stand : : still for 15 minutes on a sand bath heated at 300°C and then cooled to room temperature, and the content is transferred to a 25 ml measuring flask and adjusted to the constant volume with pure water. The Al amount in this solution is quantified by a calibration method by means of an atomic absorption photometer. The 21 amount ig calculated into Al.0. to obtain the content in the silica powder. As an example of the atomic absorption photometer, “Atomic Absorption Photometer Model AR-96en, tradename, manufactured by Nippon Jarrel-Ash may be mentioned. As an example of the standard solution to ke used for preparing the calibration curve, Al standard solution for atomic absorption (concentration: 1,000 ppm) manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd. may be mentioned.
Further, at the time of the measurement, as the frame, an acetylene/nitrous oxide frame was used, and the absorbance at a wavelength of 209.3 nm was measured for quantitative determination. (3) Measurement of B,0; content: 1 g of silica powder is accurately weighed on a platinum dish, and special grade hydrofluoric acid, special grade nitric acid and a 1% aqueous solution of special grade mannitol are added in amounts of 20 ml, I ml and 1 ml, respectively, and the platinum dish was left to stand still for 15 minutes on a sand bath heated at 300°C to let the powder dissolve and be dried. Then, to the dried product on the platinum dish, special reagent grade nitric acid and pure water are added in an amount of 1 ml each for redissclution, and then, the solution is transferred to a 25 ml measuring flask and adjusted to the constant volume with pure water. The B amount in this solution is quantified by a calibration curve method by means of an ICP emission spectrophotoanalyzer. Such a
B amount is calculated into B,0; to cbtain the content in the silica powder. As an example of the ICP emission 18 spectrophotoanalyzer, “Model SPS-1700R", tradenams, manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc. may be mentioned, and the emission intensity at a wavelength of 249.8 nm is measured. As an example of a standard solution to be used for preparing the calibration curve, B-standard solution for atomic absorption (concentration: 1,000 ppm) : manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd. may be mentioned.
The effect for improving the flexural strength and the solder cracking resistance by the resin composition of the present invention will be further increased when the specific surface area of the silica powder is within a range of from 0.5 to 5 m’/g, and the average particle size is within a range of from 1 to 60 um. If the specific surface area is less than 0.5 m?/g, the bonding area of the silica powder surface with the silane 3 coupling agent tends to be too small, whereby the flexural strength or the solder cracking resistance tends to be hardly improved. On the other hand, if the specific surface area exceeds 5 m’/g, such means that the silica powder contains a large amount of fine particles, . or a part or whole of the particle surface has irregularities, whereby at the time of packaging a semiconductor by means of a sealing agent for semiconductors, the viscosity of the sealing material increases to impair the moldability. The range of the specific surface area is preferably from 0.6 to 4.8 m*/g, more preferably from 0.7 to 4.7 m?/qg.
Further, if the average particle gize of the silica powder is less than 1 um, likewiee, at the time of packaging a semiconductor by means of a sealing material for semiconductors, the viscosity of the sealing material increases to impair the moldability, such being undesirable. On the other hand, if the average particle size exceeds 60 um, since the thickness of the semiconductor package is very thin, there will be a problem that a semiconductor chip will thereby be damaged by scratching, or it tends to be difficult to obtain a uniform package free from irregularities. The range of the average particle size is preferably from 2 to 55 um, more preferably within a range of from 2 to 50 um.
Further, the maximum particle size is preferably at most 196 pm, more preferably at most 128 pum.
The average particle size of the silica powder of the present invention is measured based on the particle size measurement by a laser diffraction scattering method.
As the measuring machine to be used, for example, “Cirrus
Granulometer Model 920”, tradename, manufactured by
CIRRUS, is used, and silica powder is dispersed in water 7 and further subjected to dispersion treatment by an ultrasonic homogenizer at an output of 200 W for 1 minute, followed by measurement . Here, the measurement of the particle size distribution is carried out by particle size channels of 0.3, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128 and 196 pm. In the measured particle size distribution, the particle size where the cumulative } mass becomes 50%, is the average particle gize, and the particle size where the cumulative mass becomes 100%, is the maximum particle size.
The specific surface area of the silica powder of the present invention is measured based on the specific surface area measurement by a BET method. The specific surface area measuring apparatus may, for example, be “Macsorb Model HM-1208", tradename, manufactured by
Mountech Co., Ltd.
The gilica powder of the present invention is able to exhibit its effects even when mixed to another inorganic powder. The content of the silica powder of the present invention in such an inorganic powder is preferably at least 0.5 mass%, more preferably at least 2 mass%. The type of the inorganic powder is preferably a silica powder and/or an alumina powder. These powders may be used alone or in combination as a mixture of two of them. In order to lower the thermal expansion coefficient of the sealing material for semiconductors or to reduce the abrasion of a mold, a silica powder is selected for use, and in order to impart thermal 1c conductivity, an alumina powder is selected for use.
Here, the silica powder is preferably such that the value of the amorphous ratio as measured by the after-mentioned method is at least 95%.
The silica powder of the present invention is such 1s that the amorphous ratio measured by the following method is preferably at least 95%, particularly preferably at ~ least 98%. The amorphous ratio is obtained from the intensity ratio of specific diffraction peaks by carrying out an X-ray diffraction analysis by means of a powder X- ray diffraction apparatus (such as “Model Mini Flex”, tradename, manufactured by RIGAKU K.K.) within such a range that 28 of CuKo-line is within a range of from 26° to 27.5°. In the case of the silica powder, crystalline silica has the main peak at 26.7°, while amorphous silica has no peak. When amorphous silica and crystalline silica are present in a mixed state, a peak height at 26.7° corresponding to the proportion of the crystalline gilica is obtained, and from the ratio of the X-ray intensity of a sample to the X-ray intensity of the crystalline silica standard sample, the mixed ratio of the crystalline silica (X-ray diffraction intensity of the sample/X-ray diffraction intensity of crystalline silica) is calculated, and the amorphous ratio is obtained by the formula, amorphous ratio (%) = (l-mixed ratio of crystalline silica) x 100.
The average sphericity of each of the silica powder cf the present invention, the inorganic powder and the alumina powder is preferably at least 0.80, particularly preferably at least 0.85. It is thereby possible to lower the viscosity of the resin composition and to improve the moldability. For the average sphericity, a particle image photographed by e.g. a stereoscopic microscope (such as “Model 8MZ-107, tradename, : manufactured by Nikon Corporation) is taken into an image analyzer (such as “MacView”, tradename, manufactured by
Mountech Co., Ltd.), and from the photograph, the projected area (A) and the periphery length (PM) of a particle are measured. When the area of a perfect circle corresponding to the peripheral length (PM) is represented by (B), the sphericity of the particle is represented by A/B. Accordingly, when a perfect circle having the same peripheral length as the peripheral ~ length (PM) of a sample is assumed, PM=27r and B=mr?, and thus, B=ax(PM/27)?. The sphericity of an individual particle will be sphericity=A/B=Ax47/(PM)2. Sphericities of optional 200 particles thus obtained, were determined, and the average value was taken as the average sphericity.
Now, the process for producing the silica powder of the present invention will be described. :
The process of the present invention is a process for producing the silica powder, characterized in that at least two burners are disposed in a furnace body with an angle of from 2 to 10° to the central axis of the furnace body, and from one burner, a raw material silica powder is sprayed and from at least one burner, an aluminum source material and/or a boron source material is sprayed, into a flame. If the raw material silica powder, and the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material, are sprayed from the same one burner, the sprayed ) materials necessarily spread in a conical shape, whereby . the proportion of the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material fused on the surface of the raw material silica powder tends to be small, and it becomes impossible to produce the silica powder of the present invention wherein the total of contents of Al,0; and BQ; ig from 0.1 to 20 mass%. Further, even in a case where the raw material silica powder, and the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material, are preliminarily mixed, they will be spread in a conical shape at the time of spraying and will be dispersed and separated, whereby the composition will be non-uniform.
At least two burners are disposed in a furnace body with an angle of from 2 to 10° to the central axis of the furnace body, to form a focal point, and from one burner, a raw material silica powder is sprayed and from at least one burner, an aluminum source material and/or a boron source material is sprayed, into a flame, whereby the silica powder of the present invention can be produced very efficiently.
By using a plurality of burners to spray the aluminum source material and/or the boron 1¢ source material, it is possible to further increase the uniformity of the conposition of the silica powder of the present invention.
A preferred number of burners is two burners to spray the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material per one burner to spray the raw material silica powder.
Here, the disposed angle of burners is required to be from 2 to 10° to the central axis of the furnace body.
If the disposed angle of burners is less than 2°, the focal point will be out of ‘the flame, and the proportion of the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material £0 be fused on the surface of the raw material silica powder tends to be small.
On the other hand, if the disposed angle of burners exceeds 10°, the focal point will be formed before the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material ig fused on the surface of the raw material silica powder, such being undesirable.
The disposed angle of burners is more preferably within a range of from 3 to 8°.
In the present invention, the aluminum source material is preferably an aluminum oxide powder. The aluminum source material may, for example, be aluminum : 5 oxide, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride or an aluminum organic compound. However, aluminum oxide is most preferred, since it is close to the melting point of the raw material silica powder, so that it is readily fused on the surface of the raw material silica powder when sprayed from a burner, and the impurity content is also small. Here, the average particle size of the aluminum oxide powder is preferably from 0.01 to 10 um. If the average particle size is less than 0.01 pm, the powder tends to be agglomerated, and the composition when fused with the silica powder tends . to be non-uniform, and likewise, 1f it exceeds 10 um, the composition when fused with the silica powder tends to be non-uniform. The range of the average particle size is preferably from 0.032 to 8 um, more preferably from 0.05 to 5 um. in the present invention, the Al1.0, content in the raw material silica powder is preferably at most 1 mass%.
Among Al and B in the silica powder, only one located on the surface of the powder will form a strong acid point and is capable of bonding to a basic silane coupling agent. Thus, Al,0; present in the interior of the raw material silica powder will present an adverse effect to increase the thermal expansion coefficient of the silica powder. Accordingly, the Al,0. content in the raw material silica powder is more preferably at most 0.8 mass%, further preferably at mest 0.5 mass%. - The raw material silica powder may contain Fes0,,
Na,0, MgO, CaO, B;0;, etc. in addition to the above- mentioned Al,0,. However, the 810; content in the raw material silica powder is preferably at least 97 masst, more preferably at least 98 mass%.
As an apparatus to spray the raw material silica powder and the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material to the flame thereby to fuse them and collect them, one having a collecting device connected to the furnace body equipped with the burners may be used.

EXAMPLES 1 to 9 and COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 1 to 7
Various raw material silica powders different in the average particle size and in the Al,0, content, aluminum source materials and boron source materials were prepared, and they were subjected to melting, fusing and spheroidizing treatments in the flame to produce various silica powders shown in Table 1 by means of an apparatus disclosed in JP-A-11-57451 i.e. an apparatus wherein a plurality of burners are disposed in a furnace body so that they are adjustable at an angle of from 0 to 15° to the central axis of the furnace body. Further, such powders were suitably blended to produce silica powders and inorganic powders as shown in Table 2.
Here, adjustment of the Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine, of the silica powder, was made by changing e.g. the average particle size of the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material to be fused on the surface of the raw material silica powder, the Al;0; content and the B,0. content in the silica 25° powder, or the specific surface area and the average particle size of the silica powder. Adjustment of the
Al,03; content and the B,0; content in the silica powder
‘was carried out by adjusting the ratio of the raw material silica powder and the aluminum source material and/or the boron source material sprayed to the burners.
Adjustment of the specific surface area, the average particle size, etc. of the silica powder was carried out by adjusting e.g. the particle constitution of the raw material silica powder or the flame temperature. Further, adjustment of the average sphericity, amorphous. ratio, etc. of the silica powder was carried out by adjusting the amount of the raw material silica powder supplied to the flame or the flame temperature. Here, the maximum temperature of the flame was within a range of from about 2,000°C to 2,300°C.
The amorphous ratio of the silica powder was at least 99.5% in each case.
With respect to these silica powderg, the Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine, the 3i0, content, the 21,0, content, the By0; content, the specific surface area, the average particle size, the average sphericity, etc. were measured and shown in Table 2. ol In order to evaluate properties of the obtained silica powders and inorganic powders as a filler for the sealing material for semiconductors, to 86.5 parts (parts by mass, the same applies hereinafter) of each powder, 6.7 parts of a 4,4’'-bis(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-3,3’,5,5 ~ tetramethylbiphenyl type epoxy resin, 5.5 parts of a phenol resin, 0.3 part of triphenylphosphine, 0.6 part of phenylaminosilane, 0.1 part of carbon black and 0.3 part of carnauba wax were added, followed by dry blending by a
Henschel mixer. Then, the blended product was heat- kneaded by a parallel matching twin screw extruder (screw diameter D: 25 mm, kneading disk length: 10 Dmm, number of revolution of paddle: 80 to 120 rpm, discharge amount: 2.5 kg/hr, and temperature of the kneaded product: 100 to 101°C). The kneaded product (discharged product) was pressed by a pressing machine and cooled, and then ground to produce a sealing material for semiconductors, and the flexural strength, the solder cracking resistance and the moldability (spiral flow) were evaluated as follows. The results are shown in Table 2. Do (1} Flexural strength
The flexural strength of the cured product for the sealing material for semiconductors, obtained as described above, was measured as follows. That is, each of the above sealing materials for semiconductors was : molded in a shape of 10 mm in width x 80 mm in length x 4 mm in height by means of a transfer molding machine under molding conditions at 175°C for 120 seconds, followed by pogt-curing at a temperature of 175°C for 6 hours to prepare five test pieces for evaluation in each case.
And, using “Autograph Model AG-5000A”, tradename, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, the flexural strength was measured in accordance with JIS K7171. Here, the distance between supporting points was 64 mm, the loading rate was 5 mm/min, and the measuring environment was 25°C under a relative humidity of 50%. The average value of the respective measured values (n=5) was obtained and taken ag the flexural strength. | The larger the numerical value (MPa), the higher the flexural strength. {2) Solder cracking resistance
The solder cracking resistance of the sealing materials fox semiconductors obtained as described above was measured as follows. That is, a simulated semiconductor chip of 9.6 mm x 9.6 mm x 0.4 mm wag bonded by a silver paste to a lead frame made of copper and having a silver plating with a thickness of 150 mm applied. Then, by using each sealing material for semiconductors, sealing was carried out by means of a transfer molding machine under molding conditions of 175°C for 120 seconds, followed by post-curing at a temperature of 175°C for 6 hours to obtain 60 pin QFP (Quad Flat Package) samples of 15 mm x 19 mm x 1.8 mm for evaluation of solder cracking resistance. Then, in each case, ten such samples for evaluation were treated for 72 hours under environmental conditions at 85°C under a relative humidity of 85% and then heated in a solder reflow apparatus at a temperature of 250°C. Then, each sample for evaluation was cut into a half, and the cut surface was polished, whereupon the size of a formed crack was observed by a microscope. A case where the size of the crack is 70 um or more was regarded as “no good”, and the number of “no good” among ten samples was obtained. The results are shown in Table 2. ~~ (3) Spiral flow 8 Using a transfer molding machine having a mold for measuring spiral flow attached thereto in accordance with
EMMI-I-66 (Epoxy Molding Material Institute; Society of
Plastic Industry), the spiral flow value of the sealing material for semiconductors was measured, The transfer molding conditions were such that the mold temperature was 175°C, the molding pressure was 7.4 MPa and the holding time was 120 seconds. The larger the spiral flow : value, the better the fluidity.
