PIII

Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation

Technique
Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) chamber
Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) chamber

Method

Plasma-based material processing technology to modify the chemical and physical properties of surfaces.

Applications: surface hardening, improvement of wear and corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, decorative treatment, doping, high temperature oxidation behaviour.

Principle: extraction and acceleration of ions from plasma towards the sample using negative high voltage pulses applied to the sample holder.
