Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition System

 

General Information

Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition (PIIID) System represents a revolutionary advancement in surface modification technology. Unlike conventional beam-line ion implanters that require line-of-sight processing, the PIIID system immerses the workpiece entirely in a low-pressure, high-density uniform plasma. By applying a high-voltage negative pulsed bias to the workpiece, ions are accelerated and implanted uniformly from all directions simultaneously.

This unique approach eliminates the directional limitations of traditional ion implantation and thin-film deposition methods, delivering exceptional results on complex three-dimensional geometries. Whether you are processing aerospace components, precision bearings, semiconductor devices, or cutting tools, the PIIID system offers unparalleled surface engineering capabilities.

Hongfeng VAC — a professional manufacturer of high-tech PVD coating equipment based in Xiangtan, Hunan, China — brings years of expertise in vacuum system design and manufacturing to deliver this advanced PIIID solution. Every system is engineered with an unwavering commitment to quality, backed by a dedicated team of technical experts.

For Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition System, it is mainly composed of double-wall process chamber, vacuum pumping system, 2 sets of filtered vacuum cathodic arc FCVA sources, 2 sets of Kaufman Ion Source KIS, RF-CCP plasma source, High Voltage Pulse Modulator HVPM, high voltage workpiece holder, gas line system, chamber temperature control, manual operating system and so on. 2 sets of FCVA sources can be used to generate metallic ions for either metal film or reactive deposition. The FCVA sources are able to do surface treatment with processing height >200mm. 2 sets of KIS sources can be used to do surface cleaning and sputtering with argon gas and the
cleaning height is >200mm RF-CCP plasma source can be used to generate gaseous plasma for either reactive deposition, plasma etching or plasma immersion ion implantation with HVPM.
