51% reduction in foreign matter defects in multilayer optical coatings
Case study at a medical device and optical device manufacturer
In the multilayer coating deposition process at an optical device manufacturing plant, TRINC’s PHASED ARRAY IONIZER (TAS-811 SFS) contributes to the reduction of foreign matter defects. The factory installed the PHASED ARRAY IONIZERs and demonstrated its effectiveness over a six-month period. PHASED ARRAY IONIZERs fills the work area with ions (Space ionizing). All static electricity from products and floating dust in this ionic space is neutralized, preventing foreign matter from adhering to the products. By cleaning the elements in this space and setting them in the deposition kiln, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the elements during deposition. |
As a result of verification at multiple sites, a significant improvement of up to 51% was achieved. They had removed some of the PHASED ARRAY IONIZERs during the test, but at that time, the defect rate worsened as soon as the equipment was removed.
As described above, the large foreign material adhesion prevention effect was demonstrated, and the TRINC’s PHASED ARRAY IONIZER was highly evaluated as an indispensable and indispensable item that we would be unhappy if we did not know about it. They are planning to introduce the equipment sequentially, as they have been inundated with requests from the personnel in charge of each department that participated in the evaluation to officially purchase the equipment immediately.
