Hello All, I am relatively new to the MEMS industry and would appreciate any information pertaining to a couple questions I have about Polyimide. In particular about the PI2600 series from HD Microsystems, the chemical name (in case other companies have a similar product) is BPDA/PPD – biphenyldianhydride/1,4 phenylenediamine. 1) Does anyone know of or have a resource that contains the spectroscopy of the polyimide in question (which includes the 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths), or (even better) actual loss in dB/cm (or similar) at the same wavelengths? 2) I am currently using product from a previous student’s thesis which is 5 years old, it has been kept in a freezer for storage. Does anyone know what (if any) the symptoms would be if the polyimide has truly expired? (i.e. Dielectric Constant/Index change, weakening of the tensile strength etc.) Thanking everyone in advance.
