Overview
- Conformal coating is applied by a vapour phase deposition process
- Thickness ranges from a few micrometres to tens of micrometres
- 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
Applications
- Protection of microsystem components or circuit boards against moisture, chemical corrosion, and dielectric breakdown
- Biocompatible coating of CMOS/MEMS bio- or chemosensors and Please contact pricing@cmc.ca for a quote. other biomedical devices
