Plasma Etching

Plasma Etching in Manufacturing

Plasma etching enables manufacturers to achieve superior surface quality and cleanliness for semiconductor processing, adhesive bonding and coating applications. 

Replace inefficient and volatile wet chemical etching with dry plasma etching.

Benefits of plasma etching: 

  • Improves the physical properties of etched material
  • Promotes surface adhesion better than other etchants
  • Plasma etchant is also an excellent cleaner (unlike acid etchants) and removes unwanted organic residues more effectively from metal surfaces
  • Plasma etching is less risky than acid etching

Applications & Industries

Bonding, Painting & Coating Applications
Plasma etching is the key to achieving high-performance adhesion of paint or glue to high-temperature resistant plastics; examples include PTFE, PFA, and FEP.

Medical Device
Plasma etching enables inert, biocompatible materials with low surface energy to be joined reliably and medical devices to be uniformly coated.

Semiconductor 
Plasma etching produces high-quality switching gates, subtractive lithography of conductors and insulators as well as oxide reduction of bond pads and lead frames in packaging.
