VertaCure PLP
YES-VertaCure PLP is a panel-based automated vacuum cure system, equipped with 5-zone uniform temperature control and laminar gas flow. This system provides excellent film performance, much higher throughput and lower CoO than atmospheric curing, and delivers superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties for a large variety of polymers.
Datasheet and Specs

Automated Vacuum Cure Systems

YES pioneered the use of vacuum curing, and has continued to perfect and patent the many innovations required to provide YES customers with superior film performance at twice the speed and half the cost of ownership of conventional cure technology. The VertaCure PLP is the result of the company’s decades of experience, and large semiconductor manufacturers depend upon it for high reliability, cost-effective production.

VertaCure PLP is a fully automated vacuum curing system that provides complete removal of residual solvents, uniform temperature distribution, complete imidization, and precise management of heating and cooling rates. Benefits include no outgassing after cure, better thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, and excellent particle performance.

The VertaCure system is available with one or two modules, for processing 12 or 24 panels in a single run. It accommodates panel sizes from 400 mm to 550 mm, with automated loading and unloading via EFEM.

Applications include polyimide/PBO cure, D2P bonding, low-temperature cure and pre-metal degas.

Unparalleled Innovation

Production-proven Excellence

Utilizing YES’s patented vacuum cure process, the VertaCure PLP offers shorter cure time, excellent temperature uniformity and high uptime for high volume manufacturing (HVM).

Chamber Exhaust Condensate Trap

Protect vacuum lines, valves, and vacuum pump performance from the accumulation of solvent condensates during the cure process. Easily dispose of the condensates.

Laminar Flow Technology

The VertaCure PLP ensures laminar flow of gas (parallel to the panels) to eliminate gas turbulence, resulting in excellent temperature uniformity and industry-leading particle performance.
