Abstract

Multi-level structures including a first layer with a parylene polymer layer deposited thereon. The parylene polymer layer has the structure: ##STR1## m is an integer having a value of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, and z is greater than 1. G is a halogen, an alkyl group, a cyclo hydrocarbon, an alkylene group or an alkylyne group having the general formula C.sub.n H.sub.y X.sub.w. X is a halogen, and n is an integer greater than zero. The sum of y and w is at most equal to a 2n+1. The parylene polymer layer can have a zinc impurity level of about 66 parts per billion or less. The parylene polymer layers are formed by a process in which monomers are formed outside of a deposition zone of a vacuum chamber. The monomers may be prepared by a process in which a parylene dimer is vaporized and subsequently pyrolized. The process may further include the step of passing the vapor through a post-pyrolysis zone prior to depositing the monomer on the substrate.
