There is provided a flip-chip mounting resin composition which can be used for a flip-chip mounting process that is high in productivity and reliability and thus can be applicable to a flip-chip mounting of a next-generation LSI. This flip-chip mounting resin composition comprises a resin, metal particles and a convection additive 12 that boils upon heating the resin 13. Upon the heating of the resin 13, the metal particles melt and the boiling convection additive 12 convects within the resin 13. This flip-chip mounting resin composition is supplied between a circuit substrate 10 and a semiconductor chip 20, and subsequently the resin 13 is heated so that the molten metal particles self-assemble into the region between each electrode of the circuit substrate and each electrode of the semiconductor chip. As a result, an electrical connection is formed between each electrode of the circuit substrate and each electrode of the semiconductor chip. Finally, the resin 13 is allowed to cure so that the semiconductor chip 20 is secured to the circuit substrate 10, which leads to in a formation of a flip chip assembly.
