Insul-Bond Epoxy Adhesives
ONE-PART LOW TEMPERATURE CURING SYSTEMS

Insul-bond Adhesives are solvent-free, low gassing epoxy formulations recommended for discrete component attachment, substrate mounting and lid sealing in the production of high reliability hybrid microcircuits. These adhesives provide multiple bonding of chips or components in a single operation while maintaining low processing temperatures. Subsequent thermal compression or ultrasonic bonding operations are feasible.

Insul-Bond Epoxy 13, 14 and 15 maintain minimal outgassing, high electrical resistivity and high bond strength to 200 °C operating temperatures. Compatibility with aluminum and other metallizations common to microelectronic devices is assured.

APPLICATION:

Selection of Insul-Bond Epoxy 13, 14 or 15 is made on the basis of thermal conductivity and thermal expansion requirements. Application by screen printing techniques (180-225 mesh screen) or automatic dispensing is suggested. For maximum bond strengths and reproducibility, adhesive thickness of 1 1/2-2 mil is recommended.

CURE SCHEDULE:
FAST-15 min. @ 140 °C; MEDIUM-30 min @ 115 °C; SLOW-1 hr. @ 100 °C
