KLA stylus profilometry of Parylene C devices

We obtained stylus profilometry measurements of Parylene C devices after soaking in different fluid conditions in a microfluidic environment. The Parylene C devices consist of platinum coplanar waveguides (400 nm Pt, 50 um center conductor, 5 um gaps, 200 um ground planes) with 6.5 um of Parylene C deposited on top. A PDMS microfluidic layer was aligned on top of the 10.00 mm CPW such that the 4.00 mm channel was centered on the CPW. The Parylene C device was subjected to one of three fluid conditions over a 2 month soaking period: H2O at 20 degrees Celsius, 1xPBS (phosphate-buffered saline) at 20 degrees Celsius, or 1xPBS at 37 degrees Celsius. The cross-sectional profile of the CPW was measured in three locations along the channel before and after soaking in each fluid. Here we give these topographical profiles for each Parylene C device we measured.
