YES
The YES 500 is an in-line plasma cleaner. The IL 500 AUTO In-Line Plasma System combines the accumulated plasma knowledge of Yield Engineering Systems (YES) and Glen Technologies Inc. with the specialized experience of a leading automation company serving the bonding market.[1]
The VES IL 500 AUTO is a robotically loaded, fully automatic plasma system. The IL 500 MAN is a manually loaded version that can be upgraded later to full robotics.[1]
The system is designed to integrate into commercially available automated bonding systems and is designed with SMEMA protocol. It can be configured to handle lead frames, boats, or substrate/PCB products.[1]
The system houses a special captive magazine called CLEANMAG, which is snap-loaded into a quick-change, self-aligning base assembly. The full transport magazine charge is robotically push-loaded into the CLEANMAG before the cleaning cycle and then push-loaded from the CLEANMAG back into the transport magazine after the process.[1]
All moving parts and robotics are mounted external to the chamber to eliminate particles generated by friction.[1]
The YES 500 sits in an automated bonding process flow as an in-line plasma cleaning system. It is intended to provide automatic processing of sensitive components before or within the bonding system environment.[1]
The system is configured to handle lead frames, boats, and substrate/PCB products.[1]
It is designed to provide safe, clean automatic processing of sensitive components and to comply with stringent cleanliness requirements.[1]
