Abstract

Abstract An epoxy resin composition comprising a trifunctional epoxy resin derived from a trisphenol having the structure represented by the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a halogen atom, and a novolak-type phenolic resin. This epoxy resin composition gives a cured product having excellent pliability and a high glass transition temperature. It is especially useful as a semiconductor encapsulating material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 94 words
An epoxy resin composition comprising as essential components (A) a trifunctional epoxy compound obtained by condensation reaction of a phenol derivative represented by the following general formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 to R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having not more than 6 carbon atoms, R 4 to R 11 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having not more than 6 carbon atoms or a halogen atom, and the groups R 1 to R 11 may be identical with each other, with epichlorohydrin, and (B) a novolak-type phenolic resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 94 words
An epoxy resin composition comprising as essential components (A) a trifunctional epoxy compound obtained by condensation reaction of a phenol derivative represented by the following general formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 to R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having not more than 6 carbon atoms, R 4 to R 11 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having not more than 6 carbon atoms or a halogen atom, and the groups R 1 to R 11 may be identical with each other, with epichlorohydrin, and (B) a novolak-type phenolic resin.
