Polyimide Wafer

Polyimide wafers, substrates, and precise polyimide shapes are now available from Valley Design. Ultra-thin, ground, lapped or polished pure unfilled polyimide is ideal for thin films, solar cell substrates, multilayer substrates, MEMS microstructures and packaging applications.

Why Polyimide?

  • Low dielectric constant
  • Flexible
  • Polishable to Angstrom level surface finishes
  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Low water absorption
  • High temperature stability
  • Excellent machinability
  • Low outgassing and non-contaminating
  • Exceptional mechanical strength
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion

Polyimide wafers polished on one side with 5nm Ra surface finish available from stock:
