Plasmatreat has opened its new technology and research center, Plasma Campus, at the company’s headquarter in Steinhagen. New areas of application for plasma technology will be developed in the 1400 square meter facility.
The Technology and Research Centre is going to have various divisions that will focus on the development of plasma solutions for a wide variety of applications. The center’s staff will work on processes related to Openair-Plasma technology for electronics production.
About Open-air plasma technology
“Open-air plasma technology offers a multitude of applications for electronics production. It ranges from the surface cleaning of lead frames to micro-cleaning of contact surfaces of bond pads prior to wire bonding. Even in printed circuit board production oxidation layers can be removed from copper surfaces using plasma,” said Christian Buske, managing director of Plasmatreat GmbH.
He further stated that Openair-Plasma is also used in the actual component production. It is also used to create a strong bond between various materials through plasma activation before casting for final device construction.
He added, “Our goal is to establish Openair-Plasma as a reproducible, effective, environmentally friendly and resource-saving process also for small and medium-sized production. Therefore, we will use the new premises for training and further education in plasma technology.”
The new building will be officially opened on October 30.
