PlasmaPen™

The PlasmaPen™ is a patented atmospheric plasma system used to solve surface preparation problems. The PlasmaPen™ produces high density plasma with a low heating effect, giving it the ability to clean and activate the surfaces including low melting point polymers. Our worldwide customer base uses the PlasmaPen™ for a broad range of applications that span the Life Science, Electronics and Industrial markets.

The PlasmaPen™ cleans and activates the surface of materials promoting wettability of potting compounds, adhesives, inks, paints and dyes. Surface cleaning with the PlasmaPen™ ensures reliable wire and die bonding for semiconductor packaging. It has shown particular success in adhesion promotion of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) used in flat panel display manufacturing.

The patented design of the PlasmaPen™ keeps voltages and current safely away from the plasma jet.  This means that the user is not exposed to potentially dangerous voltages and surfaces are not subjected to damaging filamentary discharges.

The PlasmaPen™ can be used manually or remotely through host automation. It is ideally suited to in situ treatments enabling rapid in-line processing, eliminating any activation lifetime issues.  Process gasses are flowed through the pen, activated and ejected through the nozzle.  PVA TePla’s design allows compressed air to be the standard treatment gas for most applications and provides for a very low cost of ownership.  Other gasses can be utilized depending on the specific application.
