What is it?

The R3A-LMC is described as a parallel-plate plasma cleaning system for one or two open-sided magazines, with uniform plasma throughout the magazine. It supports three plasma modes, two plasma gas inputs, and a back-fill gas input, and is described as having plain-English readouts and diagnostics.

Frequently asked questions

What materials or products is the YES R3A-LMC used to clean?

It is designed for fast, uniform cleaning of lead frames and carrier-borne devices loaded into one or two open-sided magazines.[1]

What plasma modes are available on the YES R3A-LMC?

The system can be operated in Active Plasma mode, RIE Plasma mode, or Electron-free Plasma mode by changing the positions of the slide-in electrodes.[1]

How does the machine handle plasma gases?

It provides two plasma gas inputs and a back-fill gas input. The gas can be selected as a single gas or a two-gas sequence, and the chamber can be vented back to atmospheric pressure in an inert atmosphere at the end of the process.[1]

How is the product moved through the process?

An incoming transport magazine is transferred to a CLEANMAG process magazine within the plasma cleaning chamber, and after cleaning the product is returned to the original magazine for the next process stage.[1]
