Ep Silicone Underfill
Application: Flip Chip
A sea island structure, Sunstar’s original polymer technology innovated epoxy formulation for electronics industry. Sea-island structure makes the epoxy resin flexible and hard to crack. It absorbs stress from thermal and mechanical shocks.
Absorbs flux residue left on a PC:
The underfill absorbs flux residue inside and therefore prevents voids from affecting the reliability of underfilled CSP.
Apply flux on to FR-4 => heat 3 min. at 220 degrees => apply UF from above and cures at 150 degrees 30 minutes => cross-section examination
Reworkability:
Urethane based underfill, 991 series, eliminates the stressful process of taking the underfilled CSP off and cleaning the material residue off of the PCB. The underfill chemically dissolves after a heat treatment and allows for an easy wiping of little residue left on the PCB, which makes it possible for engineers to analyze a defect device and also to save expensive PCBs.
