          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-
