Plasma
Asher: For Ashing, Etching & Cleaning

The EMS1050X Plasma Unit with RF Generator
The EMS1050X Plasma Treatment Unit consists of a solid state RF generator and associated tuning circuits, dual process gas flow monitoring needle valve control and full or restricted vent control.
It has a cylindrical Chamber with a rack out drawer system for ease of sample loading.
The vacuum system is a Dual stage separate Rotary Vacuum Pump or Optional Turbo Pumped backed by Diaphragm Pump.
The rack out drawer system can be exchanged for a vacuum loading port, for special cleaning applications in SEM/TEM.
This usually employs an Oxygen/Argon mix of gases, the Oxygen removing the organic material (hydrocarbons) and the Argon giving a surface etching of the sample.
Applications:
- Asbestos sample preparation
- Microincineration of organic material
- Etching of organic samples for SEM & TEM work
- Removal of Photoresist and electronc component encapsulations
- Surface treatment of plastics
- Cleaning of SEM/TEM sample holders
Features:
- Solid State RF Generator and associated tuning circuits
- Fully Automatic Control
- Rack out drawer
- Dual process gas flow
- Compact bench-top system
Benefits:
- Low temperature ashing process
- Easy to operate
- Easy loading/removal of samples
- Can select a mixture of gases
- Space saving
NOTE: We recommend that our No. 2 pump is used with unit as 'special oil' dedicates the application.
