Abstract
Abstract A silicone rubber potting compound contains an alkoxysilane (γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) as an adhesion promoter. Harmful effects caused by the adhesion promoter are alleviated by using as an additive a titanate having the form Ti(OR) 4 , where R is an isopropyl, butyl, octyl, or acetylacetonate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for encapsulating an electronic device comprising the steps of: covering the electronic device with an uncured silicone resin having vinyl and or hydride functional terminations and containing an alkoxysilane as an adhesion promoter; and curing the silicone resin, wherein the improvement comprises: adding to the uncured silicone resin a quantity of a titanate having the form Ti(OR) 4 , where R is an isopropyl, butyl, octyl or acetylacetonate, whereby said titanate bonds with excess alkoxy functional components of the alkoxysilane.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for encapsulating an electronic device comprising the steps of: covering the electronic device with an uncured silicone resin having vinyl and or hydride functional terminations and containing an alkoxysilane as an adhesion promoter; and curing the silicone resin, wherein the improvement comprises: adding to the uncured silicone resin a quantity of a titanate having the form Ti(OR) 4 , where R is an isopropyl, butyl, octyl or acetylacetonate, whereby said titanate bonds with excess alkoxy functional components of the alkoxysilane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein: the alkoxysilane is γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 2 wherein: the titanate is selected from the group consisting of titanium butyl titanate, titanium octyl titanate and titanium acetylacetonate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 3 wherein: the adding step comprises the step of making the uncured silicone resin to contain 0.05-4 weight percent of said titanate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein: the electronic device comprises an integrated circuit.
