ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA

 

Ontos CLEAN - Atmospheric-plasma surface treatment

ONTOS CLEAN is a semiautomated system for surface preparation. It uses a patented atmospheric plasma with a unique design that enables oxidizing or reducing chemistry without any modification.

ONTOS CLEAN performs cleaning, eliminates organic contamination, activates surfaces, and removes oxidation.

An innovative process applies a gaseous passivation that delays the reoxidation of metallic surfaces.

Key benefits

  • Removes native oxide from metallic and semiconductor surfaces
  • Engineered surface-termination inhibits reoxidation
  • Removes residual organic contamination films
  • Fast, non-toxic, dry atmospheric process
  • Low-energy surface chemistry – CMOS-safe
  • Ideal surface preparation for direct bonding
  • Compact configuration
  • Automation-compatible
