Plasma cleaning and treatment
Plasma cleaning is a process that is gaining more popularity in thin film applications due its highly effective performance on cleaning and modifying circuit board surfaces.
Plasma treatment can clean, activate or coat nearly all printed circuit board surfaces. These printed circuit board surfaces include plastics, metals, (e.g., aluminum), glass, recycled materials and composite materials.
Therefore, here at TFP we are offering all of the standard and specialized processes for plasma cleaning that includes services, equipment and coatings.
Why clean with Plasma?
Here are a few key reasons to use plasma cleaning and circuit board surface treatment:
- Plasma cleaning can clean surfaces of the print circuit board (PCB) 100% to improve adhesion and surface energy of the product.
- Many wet chemistry cleaning processes can be eliminated. Methods using cleaning chemistries, water processing and drying energy are unnecessary.
- Activate the printed circuit board surface by changing the surface energy. This would allow easier bonding and better adhesion to the surface of the printed circuit board. The significant improvement in adhesion enables the use of alternative coatings that may have difficulty adhering to circuit board surfaces without the treatment.
- The plasma process is a simple, safe and environmentally friendly technology.
- The plasma process has both batch (offline) and inline capability.
This means the plasma process can be highly effective on many different products. As a result, plasma is in use in almost all areas of industrial manufacturing.

Plasma cleaning coating services
There are three types of plasma treatment available from Thin Film Partners:
- Low-pressure plasma
- Corona treatment
- Atmospheric pressure plasma
Low-pressure plasma
These plasmas are generated in closed chambers in a vacuum (10-3 to 10-9 bar).
Corona treatment
Corona treatment (corona process) is a physical process involving high voltage and is mainly used for treatment of films.
Atmospheric pressure plasma
Atmospheric plasma is generated under normal pressure. This means that low-pressure chambers are not required.
