FAQ

Megasonic cleaning is a sophisticated process that employs high-frequency sound waves, typically above 800 kHz, to agitate a liquid medium. This agitation creates microscopic cavitation bubbles that implode with considerable energy, which in turn dislodges and removes contaminants from surfaces in a non-contact manner. This method is highly effective for precision cleaning and processing in various high-tech industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, where the utmost surface cleanliness is required.

ProSys megasonic technology operates at a much higher frequency compared to traditional ultrasonic cleaning systems. The higher frequency generates smaller cavitation bubbles, providing a gentler cleaning action suitable for delicate and micro-scale structures found in semiconductor wafers and other sensitive components. This results in effective and uniform cleaning with minimal to no damage to the substrate, a critical factor in many advanced manufacturing processes.

Megasonic cleaning is extremely versatile and is capable of removing an array of contaminants, including sub-micron particles, organic residues, photoresist, and various thin films that are commonly found on semiconductor wafers, photomasks, and other critical components. Its effectiveness makes it an essential process in the production of electronics where any residue can affect the performance of the final product.

ProSys megasonic systems are meticulously designed to ensure the uniform cleaning of delicate parts. By utilizing non-contact cleaning methods and regulating the acoustic energy precisely, our systems minimize mechanical and thermal stress on components, thereby maintaining the integrity of the most fragile substrates throughout the cleaning process.

The MegPie™ V3 is ProSys’s proprietary megasonic transducer, engineered for the non-contact cleaning or sonochemical processing of a single rotating substrate. It emits a radially uniform dose of acoustic energy that translates into a consistent cleaning action across the entire substrate surface. This technology is particularly effective in reducing the potential for cross-contamination and ensuring high-yield outputs in sensitive manufacturing environments.

ProSys megasonic systems offer several operational cost benefits. They enhance the efficiency of the cleaning process, leading to reduced cycle times and lower consumption of chemicals and water. Additionally, the systems are designed to require less energy, which not only cuts down operating costs but also supports sustainability objectives. The durability and low maintenance requirements of our systems further contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.

The Quartz Megasonic Tank System embodies the forefront of cleaning technology. It distributes cleaning energy uniformly throughout the tank, mitigating the formation of ‘hot spots’ or areas of excessive energy that could damage sensitive parts. Moreover, the system integrates seamlessly with existing processes, enhancing throughput and improving the consistency and reliability of the cleaning outcomes.

To ensure reliability, ProSys megasonic systems incorporate advanced monitoring capabilities that provide real-time feedback on the cleaning process. This enables precise control over the acoustic energy, allowing for immediate adjustments to maintain optimal cleaning conditions. Our systems’ design also includes fail-safes and diagnostics that help predict maintenance needs, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance.

The ProSys megasonic systems are optimized for high Particle Removal Efficiency (PRE), capable of removing particles down to 19 nm at a rate of 98% or higher while adding ZERO particles. This is particularly crucial in industries where even the smallest particle contamination can lead to product failure. Our systems are tested and proven to meet stringent cleanliness specifications, ensuring your products are free from defects.

ProSys provides comprehensive support to determine the suitability of megasonic cleaning for various applications. Our team of experts can conduct detailed analysis and trials to identify the most effective cleaning frequencies, power settings, and process parameters tailored to your specific needs. We offer Demo testing and process development services to ensure that our megasonic cleaning solutions meet and exceed your expectations for cleanliness and efficiency.
