Examination of dielectric strength of thin Parylene C films under various conditions

Abstract

The breakdown voltage of the biocompatible polymer Parylene C was determined after storage in 60°C saline solution and treatment by autoclave. It occurred that both, storage at 60°C in saline solution and autoclaving, lead to distinct decrease of dielectric strength by approximately 50%.
