Plasma Cleaner PC-2000
Description
The PC-2000 is the latest model in Samco's parallel-plate batch plasma cleaner series, an industry-proven platform with an installation base exceeding 500 units. This system is engineered for high-precision cleaning, ashing, and surface modification processes such as hydrophilization, serving a wide range of sectors including semiconductor packaging, wafer fabrication, optics, and biotechnology. By providing two processing modes — Plasma Etching (PE) and Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)— the equipment facilitates optimized processes tailored to specific substrate characteristics and technical requirements. The reaction chamber is equipped with multiple electrode shelves, allowing for the simultaneous high-volume processing of diverse substrates ranging from miniature components to large-scale substrates up to 400 mm square. Additionally, integrated recipe and user management functionalities ensure operational consistency, supporting applications from laboratory research to industrial production
