SEM Chamber Plasma Cleaning System
Rave Scientific introduced its new ibss GV10x plasma cleaning system to mitigate chamber and sample contamination. The GV10x Downstream Asher’s ability to remove carbon contamination is superior to the traditional methods of contamination elimination. The GV10x is an inductively coupled design. This guarantees much less energy and heat on the sample surface during cleaning, maintaining the true morphology of the sample. The GV10x design works at low pressure, enhancing the down streaming effect of radicals.
