Parylene for Industrial MEMS

Posted by Sean Horn on Thu, Oct 2, 2014

For contemporary industrial uses, sensors collect and respond to analog information, transforming it to a digital format.  Sensor design for many uses has increasingly relied on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology.  MEMS are semiconductor-made micro-mechanisms, which typically work by deflecting optical signals from input-to-output fibers by deploying movable micro-mirrors.  TheyÂ

Parylene and Ruggedization

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, Jul 29, 2014

Ruggedized products are conceived for use in severe conditions, environments where excessive moisture or dryness, extreme temperatures, high levels of vibration, wind, or lack of atmosphere are the rule.   Internal components of these specialized products require the same degree of ruggedization as exteriors.

Parylene Removal, Rework, and Repair

Posted by Sean Horn on Wed, Jul 16, 2014

Parylene’s benefits as a conformal coating are well known. It resists heat, cold, moisture, and pressure; salt spray, electricity, and solvents can’t permeate it. And while these attributes of parylene contribute to the conformal coating’s appeal, they also present distinct challenges, particularly in regards to parylene removal, rework, and repair.
