RF plasma is the most widely used and versatile plasma technology, and is applied to a broad spectrum of industrial and medical applications.
Material surfaces that require cleaning, coating or chemical modification are immersed into the energetic environment of an RF plasma. Here they are subjected to chemically reactive species that are carried to their surfaces by the directional effects of the RF plasma. These directional effects can carry momentum under the right conditions, physically removing the more inert surface contaminants and cross-linking polymers to lock the plasma treatment in place.
