Hello Frank, Is the reason for specifying CVD that through-hole profile very vertical, causing step coverage difficulties, in addition to the temperature constraints upon the insulator? If the holes are tapered, you may be interested in metallizing using a PVD technique (Al or Cu only). The substrate temperature should stay low enough not to degrade the Paralene, provided the required thickness is not too great. I believe I have evaporated more than a micron of Aluminum while temperature tape placed upon the back of a 0.5mm thick wafer indicated that it did not exceed 70C. I would be happy to provide this service if you think PVD will work. regards, Neal Ricks Haleos, Inc. 540.552.4610x3875 Frank Rasmussen wrote:Dear colleagues, I am searching for a facility (foundry, university lab, etc.) capable of depositing metals by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A metal like Al, Cu or W is preferred. If the given process is a LPCVD, PECVD or any other kind of CVD process is not important. However, the process temperature is important. The maximum allowable process temperature is 300 degrees centigrade (572 degrees Fahrenheit), but a temperature below 300 degrees centrigrade is preferred. My application is metallization of wafer through-holes, which are insulated by Parylene C. Any input is greatly appreciated.
