Parylene Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)

Parylene Deposition: Understanding the Gorham Process Parylene is a polymer that cannot be applied by brush, dipping, or spraying. It forms directly on the part to be protected, molecule by mole...

Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD)

PECVD Principle Depositing SiO₂ by conventional CVD takes substrate temperatures of several hundred degrees, which rules out electronics, solder joints and polymers. PECVD replaces thermal energ...

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Process

ALD Principle CVD and PECVD are continuous processes: precursor flows in, the film grows, and thickness is set by deposition time. ALD, developed by Tuomo Suntola in the 1970s, splits the growth...

Parylene Chemistry, Grades and Properties

A Polymer to Protect the Electronics Parylene is a widely used material that is mostly applied on critical electronic circuit to provide a strong protection in harsh environment. Especially fo...
