Abstract

Filled, thermoplastic-modified thermosetting polyester resin formulations are provided as encapsulants for microelectronics devices. The polyester encapsulant formulations include either a low profile thermoplastic resin additive or a combination of polyethylene and a low shrink thermoplastic additive. In preferred embodiments the polyester encapsulant formulations are of low viscosity and can be utilized in various pressure molding protocols. The encapsulant matrix is characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion, very low shrinkage, low modulus, and good thermal conductivity. Microelectronics devices encapsulated with the polyester resin formulation exhibit good resistance to moisture related and stress-induced failure.
