[Background art] 10 [0002] In recent years, electronic devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, ultrathin liquid crystal or plasma TVs and light laptop computers have been downsized in a growing manner. Electronic parts used in these electronic devices have, for example, been highly densely integrated or even packaged in a growing manner as well. Further, it is required that a resin material used in these electronic parts be low-expansion one for the sake of a thermal stress that occurs at the time of manufacture and use. Furthermore, since these electronic parts will generate larger amounts of heat as they 15 become highly integrated, it is required that the resin material also have a heat resistance. [0003] Conventionally, cyanic ester resins are superior in heat resistance and are known as heat-curable resins with low electric permittivities and low dielectric losses. However, while a cured product employing a novolac-type cyanic ester resin described in Patent document 1 is superior in terms of thermal expansion, the cured product has a high water absorption rate and may exhibit a reduced heat resistance after moisture absorption. 20 [0004] As a resin composition capable of forming a cured product superior in mechanical strength, adhesion strength to an adherend, film-forming property, heat resistance and pressure resistance, Patent document 2 discloses a resin composition containing a polyamideimide resin (VYLOMAX HR16NN by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), diphenylethane bismaleimide (BMI-70 by K-I Chemical Industry Co., LTD.) and an allylphenol resin (MEH-8000H by Showa Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.). Since this resin composition employs a thermoplastic high-molecular-weight polyamideimide resin, the resin composition 25 has a poor low-temperature meltability, and has a poor compatibility with a maleimide compound. Therefore, phase separation may occur at the time of curing a contacting film of such resin composition, which makes it difficult to obtain an uniform coating film. Further, since there is used a high-boiling solvent such as NMP or the like, there exists a problem that the solvent will remain at B-stage. [0005] In addition, as a resin composition exhibiting a favorable adhesion and capable of forming a cured product 30 superior in moisture resistance, Patent document 3 discloses an epoxy resin composition for semiconductor encapsu- lation which contains an epoxy resin, an imidazole compound and a maleimide compound. However, since this resin composition has a high elasticity, cracks may occur in the cured product thereof when subjected to a stress such as a large temperature change in, for example, a temperature cycling test. 35 [Prior art documents] [Patent documents] [0006] 40 [Patent document 1] JP-A-H11-124433 [Patent document 2] JP-A-2004-168894 [Patent document 3] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication (Translation of PCT Application) No. 2014-521754 45 [Summary of the invention] [Problem to be solved by the invention] 50 [0007] Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a heat-curable resin composition for use in electric and electronics industry which has a superior fluidity, a low viscosity, a superior moisture resistance reliability due to its low water absorption rate, a low elasticity; and is thus suitable as an underfill and for performing potting.
