Appeal No. 2005-0181 Application No. 09/781,631 APPENDIX 31. A silica-filled Flip-Chip-Attach (FCA) encapsulant composition for use between an integrated circuit chip and an organic or ceramic substrate, comprising a “core-shell” substance including a fine powder, whose particles each have an outer shell with a glass transition temperature above room temperature and a core with a glass transition temperature below room temperature. 35. The silica-filled FCA encapsulant composition in accordance with claim 31, including at least one epoxy resin material selected from a group of epoxy resin materials consisting of: polyimides, cyanate esters, and combinations thereof. 36. A silica-filled flip-chip-attach encapsulant composition comprising by weight: a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin of between approximately 14 and 25 percent; a methyl-hexahydrophthalic anhydride of between approximately 14 and 25 percent; at least one aliphatic polyol substance of between approximately 0 and 2 percent; 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole of less than approximately 1 percent; a filler powder comprising silica (Si02) in a range of between approximately 40 and 60 percent, with a filler particle size being less than approximately 25 microns; and an epoxy silane of approximately 0.3 and 0.5 percent. 41. The silica-filled FCA encapsulant composition in accordance with claim 31, wherein said composition has a toughness of between approximately 800 and 2,500 psi-in1/2. 42. A silica-filled flip-chip-attach encapsulant composition for use between an integrated circuit chip and a ceramic or organic substrate, comprising: a) silica fill in a range of approximately between 40 and -21-Page: Previous 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
