Superior Plasma Uniformity
For High Throughput PCB Treatment
March Plasma Systems’ PROVIATM System is specifically
configured to meet the demands of today’s PCB Manufacturing Operations. Plasma treatment uniformity is a key
operational feature in desmear and etchback applications for
HDI, Flexible and Rigid circuit board manufacturing technologies. The PROVIA system delivers!
The PROVIA platform is completely self-contained, requiring
minimal floor space. The vacuum system, plasma chamber,
control electronics and 40 kHz power supply are housed in a
single enclosure. Full front and rear access allows for
convenient service to all interior components. The pump is
positioned on rollers for easy removal. No side access is
required allowing for even greater floor space savings.

Application Specific Technology
March PROVIA Plasma System

The PROVIA system incorporates the best of March’s
market leading technology combined with novel application
specific technology development based on our greater than
25 years of experience. Through extensive Research and
Development, the PROVIA system presents unique vacuum
and gas flow technology, new electrode designs, and
superior temperature management. The careful balance of
these critical design elements and process recipe parameters
delivers a system that creates the most uniform PCB
treatment for key applications like desmear and landing pad
cleaning.
The PROVIA system’s superior performance capabilities are
complemented by very attractive cost-of-ownership aspects.
The system features a very compact and service-friendly
design. The vertical loading concept and the use of easy
loading carts minimizes any idle time generating high levels
of productivity. The fast vacuum pump down and greatly
enhanced process cycle times further add to the throughput
and productivity of the system.

Equipped with a touch-screen PC Operator Interface, the
PROVIA system provides a wide breadth of control capability
and data collection. Unlimited recipes can be stored for easy
switching of plasma processes from batch to batch. Password protection ensures that no unauthorized entries can be
made.
