Abstract: A chip package includes a substrate, a semiconductor chip, and a thermal conductive structure. The chip package includes a first and a second support structures below the thermal conductive structure. The first and the second support structures connect the substrate and corners of the thermal conductive structure. The thermal conductive structure has a side edge connecting the first and the second support structures. The first and the second support structures and the side edge together define of an opening exposing a space surrounding the semiconductor chip. The first and the second support structures are disposed along a side of the substrate. The first support structure is laterally separated from the side of the substrate by a first lateral distance. The side edge of the thermal conductive structure is laterally separated from the side of the substrate by a second lateral distance different than the first lateral distance.

Abstract: A thin oil film having parylene irregular dendritic-like columns extending from one side to another exhibits hydrophobic properties that can be used as a corrosion resistant coating or water-repellant, biofouling resistant surface. This parylene-in-oil layer can be paired with an adjacent layer of solid parylene that it overlays or underlays. The solid parylene cross polymerizes with the parylene dendrites, keeping them in place as well as the oil film. The parylene dendrites are fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of parylene over the oil layer, the dendrites self-forming from the bottom to the top. Continued CVD over the dendrites can produce a top layer of solid parylene. Etching the solid parylene away can result in a water repellant, anti-biofouling surface.
