Surfx Technologies Leaves No Excuse to Skip Plasma Surface Preparation for Critical Processes
February 25, 2022 | Surfx Technologies, LLCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Surfx Technologies, LLC, the most trusted name in atmospheric plasma, is pleased to offer its STA-10iL Automated Plasma Machine designed for high-volume manufacturing. The STA-10iL offers a slim footprint, fast lead times and flexible configurations, leaving no excuse to skip plasma surface preparation for critical processes.
Inside the STA-10iL, a three-axis gantry selectively applies the most advanced atmospheric plasma to substrates. Surfx’s Atomflo™ controller operates with low voltage, radio frequency (RF) power, and generates a uniform, particle-free and electrically neutral plasma that is safe on the most sensitive electronics.
Surfx Technologies’ versatile conveyor design allows for rapid surface preparation of electronics, including all types of IC packages. Whether for cleaning dies, silicon wafers, medical devices or molded plastic parts, the STA-10iL easily can be configured for any job with a working volume of 550 x 760 x 60 mm.
Surfx argon plasma systems clean and activate a wide variety of material surfaces, including glass, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors and metals.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Plating Process Overview
12/12/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsIn this installment of Fresh PCB Concepts, Mike Marshall takes the helm stating: PCBs have been the platform for the interconnection of electronic components for decades. Because of process costs and other constraints, such as mechanical properties or size limitations of the alternatives, PCBs will remain the standard low-cost interconnection technology. Rapidly increasing performance and functionality requirements of wireless and high-speed devices have challenged the development and implementation of new manufacturing solutions.
Dana on Data: Merging 2D Electrical, 3D Mechanical Worlds
12/04/2024 | Dana Korf -- Column: Dana on DataImagine the day when placing components and routing signal traces and power planes are not constrained by 2D PCB fabrication processes and materials. Astronauts working on the space station have equipment mounted on all axes. They are not constrained by having to stand on a flat surface. They already have a 3D printer at the space station. Why can’t we create PCBs in a 3D space?
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
