Plasma Surface Technology

Plasma Technology – New Surfaces on Every Material What are the uses of technical plasma? Plasma: the fourth state of matter Technical plasma is capable of generating almost any surface characteristics to any materials: Almost any substance is solid (frozen) when the temperature is low enough. When energy is added (heating), it becomes liquid. When heated further, it becomes gaseous. When even more energy is added to a gas, it causes electrons to separate from molecules and atoms. The result is a plasma. Plasma removes organic residue from all surfaces. Plasma treatment increases surface...

How Plasma Technology Works This is only possible with plasma technology There is no material that cannot be treated with technical plasma. This means that non-polar plastics and even PTFE become suitable for gluing. It is usually necessary to use very aggressive chemicals to achieve comparable surface effects by other means. Plasma treatment does not have any negative impact on the environment. The aggressive media are only present within the plasma. Once the plasma is switched off, they are gone. Plasma treatment only affects the surface. Thermally sensitive materials and living things...

Plasma Systems Atmospheric Pressure Plasma System APC 500 (Corona Method) Diener electronic covers all your needs Diener electronic offers solutions to any surface problem. While our competitors specialise in specific aspects of plasma technology, Diener electronic has experience and offers answers for all fields where surfaces are treated. High-voltage line ...or we invent a solution for you Diener electronic was the first manufacturer to mass produce low-pressure systems with lowfrequency (LF) excitation, which dominate in many areas of technology today. If there is no standard-system to...

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma System Plasma Beam (Active gas jet Method) A gas discharge is ignited between a central electrode and an insulated ring electrode. A plasma is excited in the stream of gas flowing through. The plasma is blown out through the nozzle. high. The plasma can therefore generally be guided over the substrate quickly. Handling and robotics systems make it possible to rapidly treat curved surfaces of any dimensions. There is no high voltage in the plasma jet. Metallic substrates can also be treated. The temperature is relatively high. Thermally sensitive substrates can...

Low-Pressure Plasma Technology or Atmospheric Plasma Technology? Disadvantages of atmospheric-pressure plasma PlasmaJet (plasma nozzle method) The plasma treatment track is limited due to the plasma excitation principle (approx. 8-12 mm). More nozzles must be used or the nozzle must be moved for the treatment of larger objects. Advantages of low-pressure plasma Disadvantages of lowpressure plasma Advantages of atmosphericpressure plasma PlasmaJet (plasma nozzle method) Plasma generation in general Plasma is evenly distributed inside a plasma chamber. Chamber volume varies from 0.1 to 12,600...

No Industry Without Plasma Technology Precision cleaning of organic residue with oxygen plasma is a precondition for any further treatment in all industries. In the field of optics, scratch-proof and optically active coatings (polarising, antireflective, etc.) are applied using plasma coating. In precision technology, gear parts are given a wear-resistant coating and bearings become epilamized. There are numerous applications in the electronics industry: Etching, structuring, ion implanting of semiconductors Etching of masks used in photolithography for applying conductor tracks, photoresist...

Areas of Application: Cleaning Residue on untreated surfaces causes coatings to drip off. Wetting is optimal after plasma cleaning. Activation PWIS = Paint-Wetting Impairment Substances prevent sufficient paint adhesion. The cross-cut test brings this to light Perfect paint adhesion on PWIS-free surface after plasma treatment Plasma precision cleaning: A prerequisite for perfect adhesion Organic residue can be found on even the cleanest surfaces. Release agent residue is present on components that have just rolled off the production line, and even short-term exposure to the surrounding air...

Etching Untreated surface Coating Process Plasma-treated surface Plastics and semi-conductors Plasma technology makes anisotropic and isotropic etching possible: Isotropic etching by means of chemical multi directional etching, anisotropic etching by means of physical etching (ion etching approach the surface approx. from one direction), as well as (RIE = Reactive Ion Etching). Isotropic etching is made possible by polymeric degradation and chemical reaction on organic materials. Anisotropic etching by ion bombardment is generally effective on any substrate. Applications for isotropic...
