In an embodiment, an adhesive sheet has an expandable adhesive layer 2 on one side or both sides of a base 1, wherein the expandable adhesive layer 2 contains an epoxy resin including a polyfunctional epoxy resin, a phenol resin as a curing agent, an imidazole-based compound as a curing catalyst, and a temperature-sensitive foaming agent. The adhesive sheet has properties in good balance, such as fast curability, heat resistance, and adhesiveness, and also excellent properties such as thermal conductivity attributed to a good filling property.

Provided is a resin composition, which is fast curable at low temperature, has high adhesive strength (especially, high peel strength) after curing, and can suppress a decrease in adhesive strength (especially, in peel strength) after a moisture resistance test of the resin composition after curing, and further has excellent pot life. Provided is the resin composition including: (A) an epoxy resin; (B) a thiol compound represented by C(CH.sub.2OR.sup.1)(CH.sub.2OR.sup.2)(CH.sub.2OR.sup.3)(CH.sub.2OR.sup.4) (wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each independently hydrogen or C.sub.nH.sub.2nSH (wherein n is 2 to 6), at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is C.sub.nH.sub.2nSH (wherein n is 2 to 6)); (b) a polyfunctional thiol compound other than the (B); and (C) a latent curing accelerator.

A photocurable composition can comprise a polymerizable material and a photoinitiator, wherein the polymerizable material can comprise at least one acrylate monomer including at least one cyano group (CN-acrylate monomer). The presence of a low amount of the CN-acrylate monomer between 10 wt % and not greater than 30 wt % can lower the contact angle of the composition and may improve the etch resistance of a photo-cured layer made from the photocurable composition.
