Abstract
A selectively filled thermally curable adhesive film (10) contains a fluxing agent for reflow soldering an electronic device to a substrate. The adhesive film has a central, region (12) and a boundary region (14) surrounding the central region. The central region consists of an adhesive that is filled with an inert filler to reduce the co-efficient of thermal expansion of the adhesive. The boundary region consists of an unfilled adhesive and a fluxing agent. The film may be used to adhesively bond a flip chip semiconductor die (20) to a substrate (21). When solder bumps (22) on the die are reflowed, the fluxing agent acts to remove any oxides present on the solderable surfaces of the substrate or the die.
