Abstract
A moisture resistant conformal coating ( ) effectively protects high frequency circuits such as gallium arsenide MMICs from humidity and environmental contamination without the performance degradation inherent in conventionally applied conformal coatings. The conformal coating preferably comprises an organic polymer, such as silicone, applied to the MMIC die in a substantially uniform thickness of less than 0.002 inches, preferably of less than 0.0015 inches. This is accomplished by applying the organic polymer directly to the surface of the die ( ) in a mixture containing the solid organic polymer diluted with a low surface tension solvent, such as a volatile methyl siloxane.
