Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor encapsulation resin composition exhibiting an insignificant heat decomposition when left under a high temperature of 200 to 250° C. for a long period of time; and a superior reliability and adhesion to a Cu LF and Ag plating under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. The composition comprises:
(A) a cyanate ester compound having not less than two cyanato groups in one molecule; (B) a phenolic compound; (C) at least one epoxy resin; (D) a copolymer obtained by a hydrosilylation reaction of an alkenyl group-containing epoxy compound and an organopolysiloxane; and (E) at least one compound selected from a tetraphenylborate salt of a tetra-substituted phosphonium compound and a tetraphenylborate salt.

A molar ratio of phenolic hydroxyl groups in (B) to cyanato groups in (A) is 0.08 to 0.25, and a molar ratio of epoxy groups in (C) and (D) to cyanato groups in (A) is 0.04 to 0.25.
