The semiconductor supply industry, optical and optoelectronic industry, thin-film technology, vacuum, laser and analysis technology as well as various areas of electromobility are among the sectors that place increasingly stringent cleanliness specifications on components. Depending on the product, production stage, area of application and company, defined outgassing rates for organic substances and residual moisture as well as specifications regarding "prohibited" substances/elements must be adhered to in addition to ultra-fine particulate residual contamination in the nanometer range and strict specifications regarding filmic contamination. And this applies regardless of whether it is a barely visible electronic part, millimeter-sized connecting elements, complex precision optics or a meter-sized system component and regardless of the material from which the parts are manufactured.

For component cleaning, this results in significantly more demanding tasks that extend across the entire production process. As an experienced full-service provider of future-oriented solutions for precision and high-purity cleaning, ECOCLEAN & UCM offer industry- and application-specific solutions from pre-cleaning to intermediate and final cleaning - also connected to or integrated into a cleanroom. The use of almost any combination of process options, such as ultrasonic or megasonic and plasma cleaning as well as Ultrasonic Plus or Pulsated Pressure Cleaning (PPC), ensures that the cleanliness requirements are consistently met in series production. The application-specific design of the system and process technology in the company's own High Purity Test Center with validated clean room and corresponding measurement technology also contributes to this.

At OPTATEC in Frankfurt, the company will be presenting these innovative developments for the precision cleaning of high-tech components.
