Impact Modifiers and Compatibilizers for Versatile Epoxy-Based Adhesive Films with Curing and Deoxidizing Capabilities

Abstract

Epoxy resins with acidic compounds feature adhesion, robustness, and deoxidizing ability. In this study, hybrid adhesive films with deoxidizing and curing capabilities for semiconductor packaging were fabricated. The compatibilizing effects and mechanical properties were chiefly investigated by using various additive binders (thermoplastic amorphous polymers) and compatibilizing agents. The curing, deoxidizing, thermal, and rheological properties were systematically investigated. For uniform film formation and maximizing deoxidizing curable abilities, a thermoplastic--thermoset mixture containing a phenyl and carboxylic acid-based additive (benzoic acid), and a polycarbonate was chosen as the model adhesive film. Without either a phenyl or an acidic group in the compatibilizing agent, deoxidizing and compatibilizing effects were not achieved. The manufactured hybrid adhesive film can be effectively used, especially for electronic devices that require deoxidization and adhesion.

Copper Sintering Pastes with Various Polar Solvents and Acidic Activators

“…Metal oxides can be removed by rosin, organic/inorganic acids, and hydroxyl and amine groups. Among them, the carboxylic acids are commonly used for removing and preventing the metal oxides . The HA, BA, and PA were used as activators in this study.…”

Fabrication and Applications of Pentaerythritol Tetrakis(3-Mercaptopropionate) Addition to N-Phenylacrylamide Based on Thiol-Ene Click Reaction

“…The addition of a phenyl group in the compatibilizing agent resulted in both deoxidizing and compatibilizing effects. This adhesive film can be effectively used for electronic devices that require both deoxidization and adhesion [11]. Microfibrillar adhesives made from phenyl-containing polydimethylsiloxane (p-PDMS) elastomers have been proposed, which exhibit superior low-temperature reversible adhesion [12].…”

Investigation of Crystallization, Morphology, and Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene/Polypropylene-Polyethylene Block Copolymer Blends

“…Adding a compatibilizer is the most common approach [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Compatibilizers typically include block or graft polymers, or compatibilizers with the same, or miscible, monomer units as the blend components [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Block copolymers can reduce the phase separation behavior, and may exhibit a homogeneous or microphase separation morphology, becoming commonly used compatibilizers [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”
