Let’s Talk About… getting to know your plasma
Plasma diagnostics
There’s no denying that plasmas look good, but did you know that a simple visual inspection of the plasma can provide a great deal of useful diagnostic information. Getting to know the plasma’s visual characteristics can also help to diagnose early problems before they become an issue. Let’s talk about a few of the main factors that affect how the plasma looks: (i) power, (ii) pressure, (iii) process gas and (iv) pump down curves.

Let’s Talk About… Measuring Surface Energy
What is surface energy and why is it important?
In this ‘Let’s talk About…’ article we discuss the measurement of surface energy and ultimately, how plasma treatment can be used to alter surface energy in order to improve adhesion and bonding.
