Ultraviolet Ozone Systems are widely used in the electronic and semiconductor industries as well as in scientific research fields including biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. These systems have proven highly effective for the removal of molecular organic contamination and surface preparation via intense ultraviolet light emitted at wavelengths of 185 nm and 254 nm. In the presence of ambient oxygen this emission results in significant O3 production and molecular excitation. This combination drives the destruction of molecular-level organic contamination on a number of substrates including silicon, silicon nitride, glass, quartz, metals and ceramics.
The PSD Series of UV-Ozone products were developed by Novascan Technologies, Inc. in response to a need for easy-to-use, high quality, reliable and affordable instrumentation for use in industrial and research institutions worldwide. These instruments have proven to be highly versatile with uses beyond molecular cleaning which include UV curing, surface patterning, ozone etching and increasing surface wettability.
