Interphase effect on the effective moisture diffusion in epoxy–SiO2 composites
Microelectronics Reliability, 2022 Epoxy Mold Compounds (EMC) are used to protect integrated circuits (IC) from environmental influences, with one of these influences being moisture ingress, causing corrosion. To obtain the needed thermal and mechanical properties EMCs require a high loading of (silica) fillers, introducing a large amount of interface.
