Advanced Carbon Dioxide (COAdvanced Carbon Dioxide (CO22) Micro Cleaning is a ) Micro Cleaning is a
nondestructive, nonabrasive, residue-free, and environmentally nondestructive, nonabrasive, residue-free, and environmentally friendly –cleaning process which uses no harmful chemicals.friendly –cleaning process which uses no harmful chemicals.
The Advanced COThe Advanced CO22 Micro Cleaning process removes micron and Micro Cleaning process removes micron and submicron sized particulates, hydrocarbon-based contamination submicron sized particulates, hydrocarbon-based contamination and stains.and stains.
The cleaning process is based upon the expansion of gaseous The cleaning process is based upon the expansion of gaseous carbon dioxide through an orifice. This expansion leads to the carbon dioxide through an orifice. This expansion leads to the formation of (size/mass controlled) dry ice cleaning particles formation of (size/mass controlled) dry ice cleaning particles which are injected into a heated propellant gas. Upon contact which are injected into a heated propellant gas. Upon contact with a dirty surface, the dry ice particles removes particles by with a dirty surface, the dry ice particles removes particles by both liquid washing and physical scouring action.both liquid washing and physical scouring action.
Advanced Carbon Dioxide / Dry Ice Cleaning can be used for Advanced Carbon Dioxide / Dry Ice Cleaning can be used for either initial or final cleaning, and for numerous critical and non-either initial or final cleaning, and for numerous critical and non-critical cleaning applications throughout the semiconductor critical cleaning applications throughout the semiconductor assembly manufacturing processassembly manufacturing process

CO2 is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive.Recycled CO2 is exempt from the EPA Global Warming legislation.
CO2 “snow” particles are too small and can’t deliver the shear stress required to dislodge resistive contaminants.
CO2 snow sprays are too dense and cold (- 80 F), which tends to shield/freeze surface contamination (“Igloo Effect”).
CO2 snow sprays discharge at a high pressure (800+ psi) that can damage structures at close proximity (needed for cleaning effectiveness with small particles).
CO2 composite spray technology is better suitedto the contact cleaning task…Why ?
Conventional Snow CleaningConventional Snow Cleaning
• Structure - molecular crystal, angular, octahedron• Solvency – hydrocarbon-like, 22 MPa1/2
• Impact Phenomenon – ablation and phase change (solid->gas, solid->liquid- >gas)• Chemistry – can be modified with plasmas, liquids, solids, vapor-phase additives• Compressibility - incompressible• Density - 1.6 g/cm3
• Hardness – 0.3 Hm (8 Hv)• Particle Size – < 0.5 microns to > 500 microns, range adjustable (coarse/fine)• Impact Stress - up to 60 MPa (8,700 psi)
