The low modulus polyimide adhesive compositions of the present invention
contain a low modulus polyimidosiloxane polymer, a thermosetting
substantially-non-halogenated epoxy (optionally including an epoxy
catalyst), a plasticizer, an insoluble halogen-free flame-retardant
filler, and optionally an adhesion promoter. The adhesive can be applied
upon (or incorporated into) flexible circuits using a relatively low
lamination temperature, generally no higher than 200, 190, 180, 175, 170,
165, 160, 155, or 150.degree. C. The adhesive is generally resistant to
unwanted curl even in cases where the adhesive polyimide and the base
film polyimide have a coefficient of linear thermal expansions (measured
between 50.degree. C. and 250.degree. C.) that differ by more than 10,
15, 20 25, or 30 ppm/.degree. C.
