Abstract: One or more masks may be used to control the application of protective (e.g., moisture-resistant, etc.) coatings to one or more portions of various components of an electronic device during assembly of the electronic device. A method for applying a protective coating to an electronic device includes assembling two or more components of the electronic device with one another. A mask may then be applied to the resulting electronic assembly. The mask may shield selected portions of the electronic assembly, while other portions of the electronic assembly, i.e., those to which a protective coating is to be applied, may remain exposed through the mask. With the mask in place, application of a protective coating to portions of the electronic assembly exposed through the mask may commence. After application of the protective coating, the mask may be removed from the electronic assembly. Embodiments of masked electronic assemblies are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in part, to Parylene based conformal coating compositions having improved properties, e.g., improved heat transfer and durability characteristics, as well as a methods and apparatus to coat objects with these compositions, and objects coated with these compositions. In some aspects, coating compositions comprising Parylene and boron nitride are disclosed. The disclosure also includes objects (e.g., electronic equipment, textiles, etc.) having a conformal coating comprising a Parylene compound and boron nitride.

Abstract: The present inventions relates to an improved and novel Parylene compositions with has improved heat transfer and durability qualities, as well as a methods and apparatus to coat objects with the novel Parylene compositions, and objects coated with the novel Parylene compositions. The novel Parylene composition of the invention comprises Parylene and boron nitride. The invention also includes objects coated with at least one polymer coat and a boron nitride coat.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method to apply Silquest to an object as a vapor, a related method to coat objects with Parylene and Silquest, and objects coated by these methods. The invention further provides an vapor deposition apparatus with multi-temperature zone furnaces that is useful for applying a Parylene coating to objects. The invention further provides objects coated with Silquest and polymers, including Parylene, where the objects are incompatible with immersion in water.
