Plasma Cleaning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plasma cleaning involves the removal of impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma created from gaseous species.

Gas Plasma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics and chemistry, a plasma is typically an ionized gas, and is usually considered to be a distinct phase of matter in contrast to solids, liquids, and gases because of its unique properties.

The Gas Plasma Alternative to Wet Cleaning - by: Don Paquin - Don Paquin is a senior applications engineer for GaSonics International (San Jose, Calif.), responsible for chemical process support for the company's industrial plasma-cleaning division, and management of its Industrial Applications Laboratory.

In the 1990's PVA TePla America, Inc purchased the RF plasma product line from GaSONICS (now Novellus), PVA TePla America's manufacturing and process service center is now located in Corona, Ca.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - The NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) supports the U.S. nanotechnology enterprise from discovery to production by providing industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies with access to world-class nanoscale measurement and fabrication methods and technology. The CNST is the only national nanocenter with a focus on commerce. As part of the CNST, the shared-use NanoFab gives researchers economical access to and training on a state-of-the-art tool set for cutting-edge nanotechnology development. The simple application process is designed to get researchers into the facility in a few weeks. We look forward to supporting your nanofabrication and measurement needs. A tool using microwave oxygen plasma to remove organics on the surfaces. Access to this machine follows standard NanoFab operating hours (7am - 7pm Monday - Friday). Out of hours access requires prior approval by the NanoFab Manager.
