The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive fluxing underfill composition
that may be pre-applied to electronic components, such as CSP's, in order to increase
the reliability of the component against mechanical stresses such as impact and
bending. The composition contains an epoxy resin, a solid anhydride curing agent,
and catalyst. Other materials, such as air release agents and fillers, may also
be added as desired. The composition may be applied selectively to parts of the
CSP, for example to the solder bumps. The composition provides sufficient tack
in order to hold the electronic assembly together during the assembly process.
