Polyimide Stripping

Plasma systems are effective for stripping polyimide and thick layers of photoresist, as well as descumming, etching, and removing organics. Plasma is an ionized gas capable of conducting electricity and absorbing energy from an electrical supply. (Lightning and the Aurora Borealis are naturally occurring examples of plasma). Manmade plasma is generally created in a low-pressure environment.

In the case of an active gas such as Oxygen, ion bombardment as well as chemical reactions occur. As a result, organic compounds and residues volatilize and are removed.

The YES-CV200 product line is suited to stripping polyimide in the shortest amount of production time.
