Surface Modification Technology (SMT)

Surface Modification Technology is utilized to minimize changes to physical and/or chemical structure of material surfaces. TMPI has over 18 years experience in the development and application of SMT, and has successfully processed several million parts in a wide variety of materials.

At TMPI, solution process tanks are large enough to handle large and odd-sized components or assemblies. Pictured is one of the overhead cranes over a hot DI water rinse contained within a Class 1000 clean room.

TMPI uses the Science and Technology of SMT to

Minimize the quantity of base material removed, thereby increasing the part's service life through controlled reactions and etching rates
Selectively remove unwanted materials, i.e.: removing one specific compound from a combination of compounds; deposits from semiconductor equipment used in PVD and CVD processing; cutting oils and grease from machined components; dust and other particulate material from critical surfaces
Develop alternative strategies to remove deposits that are extremely resistant to chemical and/or mechanical processes
Recover precious metals from thin film deposits
Change surface texture; enhance adhesion of deposits during semiconductor processing
Alter interfacial behavior and wetting properties:

Static and dynamic contact angles
Surface free energy
Flow dynamics--moving contact line and coating flows

Improve aesthetics: ensure surfaces have uniform finish and appearance and are devoid of water spots and stains
