The adhesion strength of epoxy ortho-cresol novolac (EOCN) resin monomer to aluminum atom was calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT)-based total energy calculation. EOCN is used as a component of the epoxy molding compound which encapsulates semiconductor devices. The monomer of EOCN was o...
