How to Unpack <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>3000</strong> <strong>or</strong> <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>6000</strong><br />

Nanoplas has packed the <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>3000</strong> <strong>or</strong> <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>6000</strong> so that it will reach you in perfect operating <strong>or</strong>der. Upon receiving<br />

the unit, however, you should check f<strong>or</strong> defects, cracks, broken connect<strong>or</strong>s, etc., to be certain that damage has not<br />

occurred during shipment. If you find any damage, notify your carrier and NANOPLAS immediately<br />

The weight of the <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>3000</strong> <strong>or</strong> <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>6000</strong> is around 185kg and has dimensions of 500mm x 640mm x 1410mm, so use<br />

adequate equipment f<strong>or</strong> the crate (f<strong>or</strong>klift). After opening the crate (Front face), you can extract the equipment by rolling<br />

it carefully f<strong>or</strong>ward on wheels. Once in place, the wheels must be removed and the equipment must stand firmly on its<br />

feet. Be sure, once the equipment is in place, that the general breaker (at the rear of the <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>3000</strong> <strong>or</strong> <strong>DSB</strong>-<strong>6000</strong>) is always<br />

accessible !<br />

if you previously had vacuum conditions. The value of<br />

the chamber pressure is also shown…<br />

2.4 Gas Interval Setup<br />

This page lets you define the different intervals used in<br />

the plasma treatment process (see Annex 1 f<strong>or</strong> details):<br />

«Gas Pre Open»: Interval bef<strong>or</strong>e turning on the gasses<br />

once the threshold “Pressure 1” is reached.<br />

« Gas Stabilisation »: interval after turning on the<br />

gasses which allows f<strong>or</strong> pressure stabilization bef<strong>or</strong>e<br />

starting the RF Generat<strong>or</strong> (plasma).<br />

« Gas Pre Plasma »: In the case of option “Pressure<br />

Throttle Valve”, the interval bef<strong>or</strong>e starting the RF generat<strong>or</strong><br />

(plasma).<br />

« Gas Post Plasma »: the interval bef<strong>or</strong>e the closure<br />

of gases once the RF generat<strong>or</strong> is off (plasma process<br />

completed).<br />

« Gas Pre Vent»: The interval after the closure of gases<br />

(once plasma process is completed) bef<strong>or</strong>e the the<br />

chamber is returned to atmospheric pressure.<br />

«Vent Time»: Interval by default at the end of the<br />

recipe to return to atmosphere in the chamber. This<br />

interval will not be used if you have the Vent Mass Flow<br />

controller…<br />

2.9 St<strong>or</strong>age Interval (ArH2):<br />

This menu allows you to define the different intervals<br />

used in the “St<strong>or</strong>age Process”…<br />

When you select this option f<strong>or</strong> your ArH2 recipe, at<br />

the end of the plasma ArH2 process, the software will<br />

decrease the chamber temperature to the temperature<br />

you will have indicated (T° Chamber) in the st<strong>or</strong>age<br />

process option (St<strong>or</strong>age Parameter) and will continue<br />

to purge the chamber with ArH2 at the flow you will<br />

have also indicated in your st<strong>or</strong>age parameter (MFC<br />

Gas 2) during the time you will have also indicated<br />

(St<strong>or</strong>age Timing) (see below in the recipe section). At<br />

the end of this time, the software will restart the ArH2<br />

recipe again… And so on until you ab<strong>or</strong>t (ABORT key)<br />

this recipe…<br />

At that time, the procedure will follow the steps below:<br />

--The software stops the gas but will continue to pump<br />

the chamber over the time indicated by the interval<br />

“Gas cycle 1 Off “<br />

--The software restarts the gas and continues to pump<br />

the chamber during the time indicated by the interval<br />

“Gas cycle 1 On “<br />

--The software stops the gas but continues to pump the<br />

chamber during the time indicated by the interval “Gas<br />

cycle 2 Off “<br />

--The software restarts the gas and continues to pump<br />

the chamber during the time indicated by the interval<br />

“Gas cycle 2 On “<br />

--The automat stops the gas but continues to pump the<br />

chamber during the time indicated by the interval “Gas<br />

cycle 3 Off “<br />

The software will introduce air into the chamber until<br />

atmospheric pressure is achieved.<br />

The change of the interval value can be done by pressing<br />

4.2 Starting the Process<br />

Press “START” to start the process. The window displays<br />

as shown in Fig. 46 and launches the process as<br />

soon as you close the front do<strong>or</strong> of the equipment.<br />

Once the do<strong>or</strong> is closed, pumping starts automatically.<br />

The cycle proceeds then acc<strong>or</strong>ding to the steps below:<br />

1) Close the do<strong>or</strong> to begin pumping.<br />

2) Do<strong>or</strong> closed: the light tower turns <strong>or</strong>ange and<br />

pumping begins (“Vac” icon turns green- see Fig. 47)<br />

3) Pause until the temperature chamber reaches its<br />

instruction at + <strong>or</strong> – 5%.<br />

4) Then, the program confirms that pressure is lower<br />

than “Pressure 1” (Pressure Set menu) T<strong>or</strong>r.<br />

5) If the pressure is lower than “Pressure 1” T<strong>or</strong>r, the<br />

« Gas Pre Open » interval is launched and then the gas<br />

flow begins acc<strong>or</strong>ding to the pre-specified values.<br />

6) The « Gas Stabilisation » interval is launched to<br />

enable the gases and pressure chamber to stabilize.<br />

At the end of this phase, the machine verifies that the<br />

pressure has returned to less than “Pressure 2” T<strong>or</strong>r<br />

(Pressure Set menu) and that the gas flow is equal to<br />

the preselected value at + / - 15%.<br />

7) If you have selected the option “Pressure Control<br />

Valve,” the controller then adjusts the “Throttle Valve<br />

pressure” to the pressure requested. Once the pressure<br />

is attained (« Set Pressure » indicated in the recipe),<br />

the« Gas Pre Plasma » interval is launched…<br />

8) Then, the controller starts the RF power generat<strong>or</strong><br />

and research the “RF grant” to minimize reflected RF<br />

power (P. RFL)<br />

9) The timer starts once the RF power is enabled (i.e.<br />

once the reflected RF power (P. RFL) is less than <strong>or</strong><br />

equal to 10W). The timer is then posted on the screen<br />

(see example in Fig. 48):<br />

Note: the “ABORT” Key allows you to stop the process<br />

at anytime if necessary…<br />

Wait f<strong>or</strong> the end of the timer (duration of the process)…<br />

4.3 Monit<strong>or</strong>ing<br />

During the process, you have the possibility to monit<strong>or</strong><br />

some of the parameters. Push “MONITORING ” and the<br />

menu appears as shown below:<br />

Choose the parameters you want to view by pressing<br />

the c<strong>or</strong>responding area of the screen.<br />

A new screen appears as shown in FIg. 50 & 51 (here T°<br />

Chamber had been selected as MFC O2/AR too):<br />

At the end of the timer, the software stops the RF generat<strong>or</strong><br />

and launches the « Gas Post Plasma » interval<br />

and afterwards stops the gases. The temperature is<br />

then adjusted to “Temperature End Recipe” (CONFIGU-<br />

RATION) and that of the temperature of the sample to<br />

0°:<br />

A new interval « Gas Pre Vent » is launched and after<br />

pumping is stopped (closing of the electromagnetic<br />

vacuum valve). Another interval of 5s is then started<br />

and purging begins (duration of the purging = « VENT<br />

TIME » parameter). If you have the MFC VENT option<br />

turned on then the duration of the purging is given in<br />

the recipe (“MFC Duration”) and not by “VENT TIME”<br />

parameter<br />

11) If you have chained several recipes, those will be<br />

carried out in sequence as described above (maximum<br />

5). The air entry will be carried out only after the final<br />

recipie.<br />

……..<br />

The light tower will flash <strong>or</strong>ange and the message<br />

“Completed” is posted on the screen once the air intake<br />

is finished.<br />

Note: if safety “T° Chamber” is activated, after item 13<br />

the system waits until the chamber temperature has<br />

gone down to the “threshold temperature” required by<br />

the customer (see page 11).<br />

As soon as the chamber temperature reaches the set<br />

point of “safety temperature” (at + <strong>or</strong> - 5%), the cycle<br />

restarts again at point 14: purging followed by the<br />

flashing <strong>or</strong>ange light on the light tower and the “Completed”<br />

message on the screen<br />

Once you pressed on the screen “Completed”, the<br />

tower rocks then turns green and the screen returns to<br />

the starting menu.<br />

We hope that you find this equipment completely<br />

satisfact<strong>or</strong>y.<br />

Definition of the different timings<br />

used diin th the <strong>DSB</strong> software ft<br />

“Gas Gas Pre Open”: Open : temp<strong>or</strong>isation bef<strong>or</strong>e opening the gases once the threshold<br />

“Pressure 1” is reached.<br />

“Gas Stabilisation”: It is the temp<strong>or</strong>isation after opening gases which allows<br />

stabilization of the pressure bef<strong>or</strong>e starting the RF Generat<strong>or</strong> (plasma).<br />

“Gas Pre Plasma”: In the case of option "Pressure Throttle Valve" it is the<br />

“Gas Post Plasma”: This is the temp<strong>or</strong>isation bef<strong>or</strong>e the closure of gases once the<br />

RF generat<strong>or</strong> g is off (p (plasma pprocess completed). p )<br />

“Gas Pre Vent”: This is the temp<strong>or</strong>isation after the closure of gases (once plasma<br />

process is completed) bef<strong>or</strong>e the air inlet in the process chamber.<br />

“Vent Time” : This window allows you to set the duration of valve opening of the air<br />
