Abstract
Abstract According to the invention, a filler for an electronic element encapsulation resin composition is provided. The filler comprises 5 to 95 parts by weight of fused silica beads of generally spherical form and 95 to 5 parts by weight of crushed particles of fused silica of rugged form. The resin composition admixed with the filler has excellent fluidity without the formation of burs when molded.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A filler for an electronic element encapsulation resin composition, comprising: 5 to 95 parts, by weight, of fused silica beads each having the largest particle size of substantially not more than 149 μm and containing not less than 80 wt % of beads each having particle size within the range of from 1 to 149 μm, the ratio of the largest diametral length across each bead to the smallest diametral length thereacross being 1 to 1.5; and 95 to 5 parts, by weight, of crushed particles of fused silica each having the largest particle size of substantially not more than 149 μm and containing not less than 80 wt % of particles each having particle size within the range of from 1 to 149 μm, the ratio of the largest diametral length across each crushed particle to the smallest diametral length thereacross being 1.6 to 3.0.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The filler as recited in claim 1, wherein the fused silica forming said beads and said crushed particles contains not more than 100 ppm of alkali ingredients.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The filler as recited in claim 1, wherein the fused silica forming said beads and said crushed particles has an SiO 2 purity of not less than 97 wt %.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The filler as recited in claim 1, wherein said fused silica beads are prepared by spraying quartz powder or silica powder together with a combustible gas and oxygen to form mists of molten silica at a temperature of not lower than 1750° C. followed by cooling the mists to form generally spherical beads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
