Key Features

High-Precision Etch Control

Precise RF and process gas control enables accurate, repeatable etch profiles and critical dimension control for advanced semiconductor patterning and MEMS fabrication.
Wide Material Compatibility

Optimized recipes accommodate silicon, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide and a variety of specialty materials, enabling flexible process development across multiple device types.
Stable Vacuum Performance

Robust pumping and valve architecture maintain low base pressure and stable process environments, ensuring uniform etch rates and reduced particle contamination risks.
User-Friendly Operation Interface

Intuitive control with PLC and optional touchscreen simplifies recipe management, process monitoring, and rapid adjustments to reduce setup time and operator training needs.
Compact, Serviceable Cabinet Design

Ergonomic cabinet layout and accessible service points minimize maintenance downtime and streamline routine chamber cleaning, gas line replacement and RF component checks.
Scalable for R&D and Production

Modular configuration supports both research-level flexibility and production-level throughput, allowing users to scale process capabilities as volume or complexity increases.

Plasma Cleaning Process

Plasma Generation

Process gas is energized and converted into a reactive plasma containing ions, electrons, and radicals.
Plasma–Surface Interaction

High-energy plasma species reach the material surface and interact with contaminants at the molecular level.
Chemical Reaction

Reactive ions and radicals break down organic residues and surface contaminants through controlled chemical reactions.
Volatilization

The reaction products are converted into volatile compounds and enter the gas phase.
Removal from Surface

Gaseous by-products desorb from the surface and are evacuated, leaving a clean, activated material surface.
