March Plasma Systems, located in Concord, CA and St.Petersburg, FL, is a world leader in gas plasma technology for micro-and opto-electronic packaging and PCB industries. The company designsand manufactures a complete line of plasma treatment systems, andmaintains an expert staff of scientists and engineers trained in plasmascience and in advanced packaging and PCB technology.
High reliability and high yield of advanced integrated circuits can bedifficult to achieve as package size decreases and use of advancedmaterials increases. Gas plasma treatment before die attach, wirebonding, encapsulation, and underfill increases bond strengths.
For PCB manufacturing, plasma technology can deliver higher uniformityand reproducibility than chemical or mechanical process. Plasmatreatment increases the surface energy of advanced materials, includingTeflonŽ, providing excellent lamination and wettability for platingthrough-holes. Plasma also removes resin smear created in the drillingprocess and removes carbon by-products from blind vias.
