Plasma Etching Chamber for PCB Manufacturing from Japan

This plasma etching chamber generates low-pressure plasma using dielectric loss to precisely remove material layers from printed circuit boards during fabrication. It is designed solely for semiconductor and PCB manufacturing environments, meeting the criteria for HTS 8514.32.10.00 as equipment for heat treatment by dielectric loss used principally in printed circuit assembly production.
