„THE TECHNOLOGY“ for future developments !
Our grid enhanced technology (get) plasma increases the plasma density in your surface modification processes, no matter if you want to coat, etch, sputter or clean your substrates. The plasma is concentrated around the work piece, which leads to significantly higher process/energy efficiency, faster deposition/etching rates and improves system productivity.
Basics of the get-plasma process The get-plasma process is based on so-called inverted fireballs (IFBs), which form inside a grid electrode that is enclosed by a Debye sheath – it is basically an evolution of the double layer that forms in front of a positively biased electrode inside an existing plasma. |
As the electrons go through the grid they induce additional ionisation processes and, hence, increase the plasma density. At the same time an equipotential is formed around the grid, which traps the electrons inside the mesh. This dense plasma can be utilized to coat, etch, activate or sputter large surfaces at a fast rate.
Advantages of get-plasma Technology:
- Overall energy and process efficiency
- It can be integrated into already existing low-pressure plasma systems
- Long term process stability
- Large area plasma treatment is feasible
- High growth rates are achievable
- An excellent tool for carbon film deposition on various surfaces
- Less machine down time
- The promising bridge technology for graphene developments
