Underfill is an adhesive encapsulant that flows beneath a flip-chip die or package to fill the gap between the chip and substrate, reinforcing solder joints against mechanical and thermal stress. In translation and localization, the term appears in packaging assembly instructions, material datasheets, reliability reports, rework procedures, and failure analysis documents that describe dispensing, curing, fillet formation, and void control.

Translators see underfill in flip-chip assembly documents, surface-mount technology guidelines, and reliability test specifications. It appears in work instructions for dispensing patterns, curing profiles, and inspection criteria. The term also occurs in rework manuals where underfill removal and reapplication steps must be described precisely to avoid damaging adjacent components.
A frequent mistake is translating underfill simply as '填充胶' without conveying that it flows under the die. This can blur the distinction from other adhesives or molding compounds. In rework and reliability content, imprecise wording may cause operators to apply the wrong material or overlook capillary underfill requirements, leading to solder joint cracks and field failures.

Review status: questions to confirm
If both terms occur in one file set, retain the source distinction between material associated with die attachment and material identified as filling beneath a flip-chip die or package. Do not replace one with the other because both are adhesive materials.
Use nearby cross-sections, package labels and material tables to establish whether the source refers to a material beneath the die or to a separate encapsulation/molding region. Do not use generic “encapsulant” as a blanket substitute when the source names underfill.
Translate “under-die,” “gap,” “fillet” and “void” as separate labels when present; match each to the same figure or inspection field. Do not convert a label into a process instruction or infer an acceptance criterion.
