Microelectronic packages formed by using novel fluxing agents are
disclosed. In one aspect, a microelectronic package may include a
microelectronic device, a substrate, and an interconnect structure
including a solder material coupling the microelectronic device with the
substrate. Underfill material may be included around the interconnect
structure between the microelectronic device and the substrate. The
underfill material may include an organic rosin acid moiety derived from
an anhydride adduct of a rosin compound that was used as a fluxing agent.
Methods of making such microelectronic packages using anhydride adducts
of rosin compounds are also disclosed.
