Plasma cleaning systems use low-pressure gas and radio-frequency energy to generate a plasma that removes surface contaminants or modifies surface chemistry. Such systems are typically batch tools with multiple shelves, allowing simultaneous processing of several substrates.
The 1000FP is a multi-shelf system that combines plasma uniformity with the ability to switch between Active, Reactive Ion Etching (RIE), or Downstream operation. Downstream operation allows 'electron-free' cleaning for sensitive electronic components.[1]
Applications include removal of contaminants such as oil films and metal oxides, surface modification of unlike surfaces, and improvement of adhesion strength. Specific bonds cited include polyethylene to stainless steel, gold deposition to quartz, and wiring to semiconductor chips. Other applications include photoresist removal on CD masters, silicon etching for array alignment, matting clear plastic surfaces, and adhesion of critical automotive components.[1]
