Do you want to find out how we reliably remove Cu/Sn-oxides?

Overview

As the world-market leader in atmospheric plasma surface treatment & nano-coating solutions, we support our customers globally in industries like automotive/EV, semiconductor, consumer electronics, medical devices & aerospace to name a few.

In our application laboratories across the globe, we analyze specific surface treatment projects together with our clients and support them from concept to implementation. We conduct technical feasibility studies, directly with our customer’s parts, develop optimal plasma process settings for a given treatment scenario and carry out long-term ageing trials.

Our Openair-Plasma® treatment systems for industrial fine cleaning & activation, Cu-oxide & Sn-oxide reduction and our PlasmaPlus® surface nano-coating technologies are used to functionalize e.g. lead frames, wafers and substrates. This is especially important when pristine surfaces, a high surface energy or specific surface functionalities are critical for subsequent processes (e.g.: wire bonding, die-attach, over molding, (fluxless) TCB, bonding, sealing, or printing)

  • The Importance of Surface Treatment and Oxide Reduction

    Surface treatment, particularly oxide reduction, is crucial for the production of power electronics and semiconductors. These components are essential for a wide range of high-performance electronic applications, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery and automotive systems.

    Ensuring the purity and cleanliness of metal surfaces is vital for several reasons:

    1. Improved Electrical Performance: Oxide layers on metal surfaces can impede electrical conductivity, leading to inefficient performance and increased resistance. Removing these layers ensures optimal electrical contact, which is critical for the high currents and voltages managed by IGBTs and semiconductors.
    2. Enhanced Adhesion: Oxidized surfaces can compromise the adhesion of subsequent layers or components. In semiconductor manufacturing, strong and reliable bonds are essential for the durability and performance of the final product. Effective oxide reduction promotes better adhesion, leading to more robust and reliable components.
    3. Reduced Defects and Failures: Oxides and contaminants can cause defects during the manufacturing process, such as voids or delamination, which can lead to failures in the field. By ensuring a clean surface, oxide reduction minimizes the risk of these defects, enhancing the reliability and lifespan of the components.
    4. Efficiency in Miniaturization: As electronic components become smaller, the margin for error decreases. Tiny imperfections caused by oxides can have significant impacts on performance and reliability. Surface treatment ensures that even the smallest components are manufactured to the highest standards, supporting ongoing trends in miniaturization.
