What it is

The Panasonic PC 32 P M is a plasma cleaner.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma cleaners operate by introducing a process gas (such as oxygen, argon, or nitrogen) into a vacuum chamber and applying radio-frequency or microwave energy to create a plasma.

The energetic ions and radicals in the plasma react chemically with surface contaminants, converting them into volatile byproducts that are pumped away.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma cleaning is performed as a surface preparation step before processes such as thin-film deposition, photoresist coating, bonding, or encapsulation.

The equipment is used after wet chemical cleaning or as a final dry cleaning step to ensure the substrate is free of organic residues and has controlled surface energy.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include cleaning semiconductor wafers, removing photoresist residues, activating surfaces for wire bonding or adhesive bonding, and cleaning optical components.

Plasma cleaning is also used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication, printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, and precision optics manufacturing.
