Abstract

A series of aminophenylsilsesquioxanes were synthesized and cross-linked with a set of epoxy resins to form 3-D epoxy resins with completely defined interfaces. The objectives of this work were to make materials with very low coefficients of thermal expansions (CTEs) such that these materials could be used for flip-chip underfill in the manufacture of chips on printed circuit boards. Related polyimides were made as oxygen barrier materials. We were able to make epoxy resin hybrid composites with CTEs of ≈30 ppm/°C. Likewise with polyimides we were able to make composite resins with oxygen transmission rates of 3–5 ± 0.5 cc·20 μm/m2·day·atm in films that were only 0.5 mm thick.
