Low-Pressure Plasma for Manufacturing

Low-pressure plasma systems are specialized vacuum system components designed, assembled, and operated for the specific process of producing plasma chemistry safely and repeatedly.

Thierry's low-pressure  plasma systems offer a wide range of options for surface modification like: 

  • Precision cleaning of contaminated components
  • Plasma activation of plastic parts
  • Etching of organic or inorganic materials
  • Plasma deposition
  • Low friction coating
  • Coating of plastic parts with PTFE-like layers (polytetrafluoroethylene)
Low-Pressure Plasma Systems are used in a large variety of industries when it comes to joining and assembling materials or changing the surface characteristics of industrial materials.

The Use of Low-Pressure Plasma Systems

low_pressure_plasma_systemsWith low-pressure plasma systems, plasma is generated in an evacuated chamber containing a metered or dosed amount of the desired precursor gas or gases. This gas is then excited to change its state to a plasma. One of the examples of this excitement would be passing a radiofrequency current through the gas. This RF energy creates a conforming gas plasma that comes in contact with the material surfaces inside the vacuum chamber. Two or more steps can be conducted successively, such as surface cleaning and surface coating, or cleaning, etching, and activating due to advances in plasma system control software.

Low-pressure plasma systems are often operated in batch mode, which is ideal for production processing, product testing, and research.
