Abstract
Abstract An adhesive composition for attaching semiconductor die to a substrate of a semiconductor device package includes a crosslinkable resinous polyimide, and an aminosilane crosslinking agent. For applications where backside contact to the semiconductor die is desired, the composition also contains finely divided conductive metal, such as silver flakes. When used in a novel process in which the adhesive composition is placed on the semiconductor device substrate prior to gelling, outgassed, a semiconductor die is placed on the outgassed composition, and the composition cured, the resulting semiconductor device package meets military specifications with a substantial cost reduction.
