    摘要: A parylene deposition apparatus includes a quartz crystal thickness/rate controller for controlling the deposition of Parylene AF4 onto silicon wafers in the production of semiconductor chips. The crystal is located within the deposition chamber to receive a coating of parylene consistent with that of the substrate being coated. The vaporization chamber of the apparatus includes a heat transfer receptacle for receiving parylene dimer to be vaporized. The heat transfer receptacle includes heating and cooling devices to control the temperature thereof. In operation, parylene monomer deposits onto the surface of the crystal during deposition thereby varying the vibration frequency of the crystal. The rate of change in frequency can be directly correlated with the rate of monomer deposition. The crystal is associated with a microcontroller and set-point comparator, and further with the heating and cooling elements of the vaporization chamber to effectively monitor the thickness of the parylene coating during deposition, and control the rate of vaporization of the dimer.

    摘要: Multi-level structures including a first layer with a parylene polymer layer deposited thereon. The parylene polymer layer has the structure: ##STR1## m is an integer having a value of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, and z is greater than 1. G is a halogen, an alkyl group, a cyclo hydrocarbon, an alkylene group or an alkylyne group having the general formula C.sub.n H.sub.y X.sub.w. X is a halogen, and n is an integer greater than zero. The sum of y and w is at most equal to a 2n+1. The parylene polymer layer can have a zinc impurity level of about 66 parts per billion or less. The parylene polymer layers are formed by a process in which monomers are formed outside of a deposition zone of a vacuum chamber. The monomers may be prepared by a process in which a parylene dimer is vaporized and subsequently pyrolized. The process may further include the step of passing the vapor through a post-pyrolysis zone prior to depositing the monomer on the substrate.
