A resin composition which can be used to form a prepreg having sufficient
flexibility to prevent cracking from occurring therein is provided.
Further, a prepreg having sufficient flexibility to prevent cracking from
occurring, a prepreg having excellent workability even in the case where
the resin composition in the prepreg is in an uncured state, and a
laminate provided with such a prepreg are also provided. The resin
composition is used to form a sheet-shaped prepreg by impregnating a base
material with the resin composition, and the composition comprises a
first thermosetting resin, a second thermosetting resin having a lower
weight average molecular weight than that of the first thermosetting
resin, a curing agent, and a filler. The prepreg is formed by
impregnating a base sheet material with the resin composition described
above. The laminate is formed by laminating a metallic foil on the
prepreg and then molding them by heating under pressure. A semiconductor
package is manufactured by mounting an IC chip on a prepreg on which the
metallic foil has been laminated.
