What makes us different than our competitors?

We will sell equipment "as-is," or "operational" just like our competitors. However, when we sell equipment rebuilt and warrantied*, we perform the following extensive (and often expensive) procedures during our rebuild process of
plasma tools which utilize quartz, or metal chambers:

• All components are disassembled to frame (machine is "ripped down")
• All painted parts are re-painted
• Quartz chamber systems: all quartzware is repaired/cleaned/annealed/fire polished. The quartz chamber spec'd out as new (or a new chamber installed, if the chamber is found to be out of spec)
• Metal chamber systems: the chamber is disassembled and cleaned, chamber RF components are refurb'd, or replaced with new. New seals are installed.
• The RF Generator is disassembled, and the following new parts are installed: Power tube, oscillator tube, fans.
• We then Verify that the PA section is correctly configured.
• We go then go through the OEM alignment procedure, and make sure the generator meets OEM specs.
• The Vacuum system (plumbing) is chem cleaned.
• The Pump valve is rebuilt
• The system is then reassembled. New gas line tubing is installed as necessary.
• New fittings/valves are installed as necessary.
• The system is then Helium leak checked.
• The system Watt meters and vacuum gauge are calibrated. The system timer is verified.
• The system logic is debugged.
• The system is then "put into final test" and a QA record (see below) is created. This establishes system baseline readings, and aids with troubleshooting the system later.
• The extensive rebuild procedure greatly reduces chances of cross contamination, and makes the system perform "as new." Process results are, obviously, enhanced and more repeatable as a result.

We encourage you to ask our competition if they perform a quality rebuild to these (our) standards, and if they provide these important test readings to you.

As the saying goes: "you get what you pay for."

Some of our clients include: IBM, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Vishay, Semicoa, Microsemi, On Semiconductor, Freescale Semiconductor, International Rectifier, Aeroflex, Infinera, Tyco M/A-Com, JDS Uniphase, Skyworks Solutions, Seagate, Motorola, Xerox, etc.

* Rebuilt equipment comes with a 90 Day warranty (from date of shipment) for all parts/labor, except quartzware. Please inquire about our warranty if you need further details.
