What is the advantage of atmospheric pressure operation? Can I use the Atomflo in a vacuum system if I want to?
The advantage of atmospheric plasmas is their ease of use, cost effectiveness, and ability to continuously treat materials of any size and shape. Furthermore, the reactive gas flows out of the plasma source and around and through complex parts, such as MEMS. The Atomflo is unique in that it is a particle-free plasma source, and generates significantly less particle contamination than vacuum plasmas.
