CMC provides access to parylene coating service through Advanced Coating. A thin film of parylene-c polymer can be conformally coated onto various devices, substrates, and circuit boards to provide protection against certain harsh environment conditions or to improve biocompatibility.
Applications
- Protection of microsystem components or circuit boards against moisture, chemical corrosion, and dielectric breakdown
- Biocompatible coating of CMOS/MEMS bio- or chemosensors and other biomedical device
Overview
- Conformal coating is applied by a vapor phase deposition process
- Thickness ranges from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers
- Coating works better on a textured surface than a highly polished surface
- Selective coating is available subject to device dimensions
- Parylene is well accepted in medical device industry due to its good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity
Cost
TBD with Prototyping Subscription
