The GLOW plasma system is designed for high reliability and affordable pricing (under $6,000 dollars). It Operates at 100 kHz, —– no tuning is required! The GLOW is suitable for lab, university or production applications. It can perform a host of applications such as plasma cleaning, removing photoresist, prebond cleaning/conditioning, PDMS bonding and organic removal.
Glow Research makes the entire system—so we are able to provide a very reliable plasma system and pass on our cost savings.
The chamber is constructed of high grade aluminum, and the chamber is anodized for durability. There are two sample shelves—one for plasma processing, and the other powered shelf is for ion assisted or more aggressive processing. The chamber door has a dynamic hinge to prevent pinching of the O-ring and to increase vacuum integrity.
The front display will report the chamber pressure so that a process can be easily established. A reliable Pirani gauge is used.
The GLOW plasma system is equipped with a 100 kHz, 50 Watt generator. No tuning is required.
Standard features include a switch that terminates RF power and gas flow. Safety interlocks prevent activation of the RF power and gas flow when the chamber door is open or if covers are removed. The GLOW has passed rigorous testing and is CE marked.
