This equations also serve as an tool for the description of hereditary properties of various materials and processes. For details, see [1-5]. The most important problem examined up to now is that concerning the existence of solutions of considered equations. In order to solve (1), many different methods have been applied in the literature. Most of these methods use the notion of a measure of noncompactness in Banach spaces, see [6-10]. Such a method can be to apply in this work. The method we are going to use is to reduce the existence of mild solutions of fractional semilinear integro-differential equations of type (0.1) to searching a fixed points of a suitable map on the space <img src="7-7401568\c09be223-c7f7-44e6-a388-48b6f77b3d1f.jpg" /> tempered by an arbitrary positive real continuous function <img src="7-7401568\3c8d70ce-1573-4e32-973a-328ccc4a2308.jpg" /> defined on<img src="7-7401568\bc9f35e4-644c-4d08-8111-86169bb3922e.jpg" />. In order to prove the existence of fixed points, we shall rely on the Schauder theorem. Moreover, an application to fractional differential equations is provided to illustrate the results of this work.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
