The YES-R1 is a bench-top plasma cleaner manufactured by Yield Engineering Systems. The YES-R1 uses a low-pressure gas plasma to remove organic contamination and to surface-activate parts and substrates. The YES-R1 is rated for 120 V, 60 Hz, 1.4 A, 175 W and supports argon and oxygen process gases.[1]
What it is
How it works
Plasma cleaners use an ionized gas at low pressure to remove residual organics and thin oxides from sample surfaces. The YES-R1 uses argon or oxygen gas in its plasma cleaning process.[3]
