Microelectronics: Plasma Cleaner PSX307

Plasma Cleaner PSX307 design engineers Panasonic

The PSX307 plasma cleaner provides 1.5 times the productivity of conventional models. Parallel plate chamber technology delivers superior etch uniformity over conventional batch systems.

Ultra-thin gold-plated electrodes can be wire bonded reliably without nickel compound formation via argon plasma treatment. Gold plating savings alone can provide ROI justification.

Other capabilities include surface modification by oxygen plasma improving mold resin adhesion and under-fill wettability, and reducing incidence of peel-off, voids, and cracks.

Panasonic plasma cleaning equipment sets the standard; thereby, refining tomorrow's technology today.

Features & Benefits

High-speed, uniform parallel plate plasma cleaner

  • Fast - up to 360 substrates/strips per hour
  • Highly productive - inline processing for improved bonding, over molding and underfill
  • Semi S2/S8 compliant
  • Ar, O2 or mixed gas plasma

  • The reason why an extra-thin gold plated electrode can be used
    When a extra-thin gold plated electrode is used, nickel compounds are formed on a surface after the heat treatment by the die-bonding cure. These nickel compounds impair the wire bonding performance, thus it is said that a thin gold plated electrode is unsuitable for wire bonding. However, the argon plasma treatment eliminates the nickel compounds, therefore stable wire bonding can be performed on an extra-thin and extra-cheap gold plated electrode.

    Surface reforming by oxygen plasma
    Surface reforming by oxygen radical improves mold resin adhesion and under-fill wettability. (Option)
