The cleanroom test center is equipped with cleaning systems specially designed for high-purity applications as well as various inspection technologies for verifying the achieved particulate and filmic cleanliness. (Image credit: acp systems AG) For the execution of high purity cleaning tests under ultra-clean conditions, acp has expanded its test capacities with a cleanroom test facility. The foundation is a validated ISO Class 7 cleanroom with zones up to Class 5 according to ISO 14644-1. (Image source: acp systems AG) The media preparation systems ensure that the recycled carbon dioxide has a purity of 99.995 percent and compressed air a quality of 1.2.1. according to ISO 8573-1:2010. To produce the air quality required by semiconductor manufacturing, for example, a gas scrubber is additionally integrated into the high-purity media supply system for compressed air (XCDA).

When removing particles that are difficult to clean off, the higher kinetic energy of the pulsed jet enhances the cleaning effect. (Image credit: acp systems AG) When machining hard and brittle plastics such as PEEK, the new two-component ring nozzle also offers optimization potential, including increased chip volume and thus improved productivity as well as reduced tool wear. (Image source: acp systems AG) The innovative, wear-free two-substance ring nozzle generates a pulsed jet. It is equipped with a valve specially developed for this application, enabling cycle times of up to 20 milliseconds. (Image source: acp systems AG) Bonding surfaces soiled with flux residues and particulate contamination can be cleaned quickly and efficiently using the special nozzle, saving up to 15 percent on carbon dioxide and compressed air consumption at the same time.

The residual powder formed during wafer dicing with lasers is removed effectively by the quattroClean snow jet technology. Cleanliness was proven using a digital microscope with marks with an external diameter of 0.4 mm. (Photo credit: acp systems) Thanks to the interaction of the effects of the quattroClean snow jet technology, particulate contamination down to the submicrometer range as well as the finest filmic contamination are removed reliably and consistently. (Photo credit: acp systems) The JetStation-HP, designed and equipped for cleanroom use, was developed for flexible cleaning tasks with the highest cleanliness requirements. It is loaded manually and can be operated in partially or fully automated mode as a stand-alone solution. (Photo credit: acp systems) The process design, where all process parameters are precisely tailored to the specific application, material properties, contaminants to be removed, and cleanliness requirements, is carried out at acp systems' technical center.

CO2 snow-jet cleaning for high-purity applications

Reliable and sustainable process for cleaning high-tech components in cleanrooms

The number of parts which, due to stricter cleanliness specifications, need to be cleaned in a cleanroom is constantly rising - and this is true for many branches of industry. In most cases, these tasks cannot be solved using classic cleaning methods. Thanks to the sustainable quattroClean snow jet…
For an integrated, fully automatic cleaning process, the quattroClean nozzle is for example mounted on the bonding head of the Series 86 bonding machines for large-scale battery packs and integrated into the machine control system. (Photo source: F&S Bondtec Semiconductor) The quattroClean jet removes particulate and filmic contamination in a process-safe and reproducible manner. The snow jet consistency is monitored at the nozzle by a sensor system, ensuring consistently good results. (Image source: F&S Bondtec Semiconductor)
