What is it?

The YES CV108 is described as a single-wafer downstream plasma stripper/descummer that uses microwave energy to ionize oxygen gas for removal of photoresist or polyimide coatings from 150 or 200mm wafers, with later product-page text also stating 4-8 inch wafer operation and features such as endpoint detection, two mass flow controllers, and programmable process control.
