The present invention provides an one-pack thermosetting type epoxy resin
composition which is useful as an underfilling material used when a flip
chip or a semiconductor package comprised of a semiconductor element held
on a carrier base being mounted onto a wiring substrate; which can omit a
fluxing process as adopted for improvement of the bonding force of bumps
or solder balls particularly at said mounting and exhibits a good
voidless property even at a reflow temperature; and which can be also
applied as an adhesive, a paint, a coating material, a sealing material,
or the like.The one-pack thermosetting type epoxy resin composition of
the present invention comprises as essential ingredients, a liquid epoxy
resin and a carboxylic acid having two or more carboxylic groups in
molecule as a curing agent.
