Abstract:
An epoxy resin exhibits a small change in volume after thermal history, is excellent in low thermal expansion and low moisture absorption, and has high heat resistance, in terms of a cured product obtained therefrom; a curable resin composition; a cured product which has all the above properties; a semiconductor encapsulating material; a semiconductor device; a prepreg; a circuit board; a buildup film; a buildup substrate; a fiber-reinforced composite material; and a molded article. The present invention is characterized by an epoxy resin, characterized by including as essential components, a cresol-naphthol co-condensed novolac type epoxy resin (A), a naphthol glycidyl ether compound (B), and one or more xanthene compounds (C) selected from the group of compounds represented by the following structural formulae (1) to (3), wherein the content of the xanthene compound(s) (C) is from 0.1% to 5.5% in terms of area ratio in a GPC measurement.
