Underfill Materials for Flip-Chip & BGA Packaging

Reinforcement and stress relief for advanced semiconductor packaging.
Ideal for flip-chip, BGA, and high-reliability applications in microelectronics.

Stress-Relief and Reinforcement for Flip-Chip and BGA Assemblies

Underfill materials are specialty resins used in flip-chip, BGA, and CSP packaging to enhance mechanical stability, thermal cycling resistance, and long-term reliability. By filling the gap between die and substrate, underfill absorbs stress from thermal expansion mismatch and protects solder joints from fatigue and failure.

These materials are essential for mobile devices, automotive electronics, sensors, MEMS, and power semiconductors operating under demanding conditions.

NAGASE provides high-performance underfill solutions tailored to advanced semiconductor packaging requirements worldwide.
