Abstract
A method of encapsulating an electronic assembly comprises disposing a plurality of electrically non-conductive particles on a substrate which carries one or more components of the electronic assembly; introducing a reactive parylene monomer in a vapor form into interstitial spaces among the plurality of the electrically non-conductive particles; and forming a parylene binder in the interstitial spaces of the electrically non-conductive particles from the reactive parylene monomer.
Claims23
A method of forming the encapsulated electronic assembly, the method comprising:
- disposing a plurality of electrically non-conductive particles on a substrate which carries one or more components of the electronic assembly;
- introducing a reactive parylene monomer in a vapor form into interstitial spaces among the plurality of the electrically non-conductive particles;
- forming a sealing structure comprising the plurality of electrically non-conductive particles and the parylene binder in the interstitial spaces of the electrically non-conductive particles derived from the reactive parylene monomer, the electrically non-conductive particles comprising hexagonal boron nitride, silicon nitride, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, and the parylene binder locking the plurality of electrically non-conductive particles to each other, to the substrate, and to the one or more components disposed on the substrate;
- disposing a heat sink on the sealing structure opposing the substrate;
- disposing the substrate on a package base;
- and
- coupling the heat sink to the package base.
An encapsulated electronic assembly comprising:
- a rigid or a flexible substrate;
- one or more components disposed on the substrate;
- a sealing structure comprising a plurality of electrically non-conductive particles and a parylene binder locking the plurality of electrically non-conductive particles to each other, to the substrate, and to the one or more components disposed on the substrate, the electrically non-conductive particles comprising hexagonal boron nitride, silicon nitride, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing;
- a heat sink disposed on the sealing structure opposing the substrate;
