Hi list members, As I observe the thread about Isola IS620, I wonder why Cytop has not generated more interest. It is manufactured by Asahi Glass. It has a dielectric constant of 2.1 and a loss tangent of 0.0007. It's moisture uptake is <0.01% by weight. I've applied for a patent on how to overcome its high CTE of 74 ppm/degree C on silicon or glass-epoxy substrates - requiring some unusual fabrication techniques. They involve a gridded pair of dielectric materials patterned by imprinting, and would only be suitable for build-up layers.
