UV Curing and The Benefits of Pulsed Light

UV Curing with In the new CoolCureXL-DVD UV curing system Xenon offers a state-of-the-art cure for DVDs - and a superior alternative to curing with mercury lamps. A spiral-shaped UV curing lamp that matches the shape of the DVD is at the heart of the system. And its pulsed characteristics mean that CoolCureXL-DVD functions with virtually no heat. By eliminating the use of mercury and microwaves, XENON Corporation's CoolCureXL-DVD becomes the ultimate DVD system. XENON Corporation continues to uphold its reputation for bringing new technology to light.The technology of the future is here today.

 UV curing of DVDs and CDs

Pulsed light benefits are easy to understand through the analogy of the hammer and nail. When you drive a nail into a wall with a hammer, is it more effective to strike the nail with a series of short, even hits or is it better to apply the hammer to the nail head and to press steadily! 

 

Innovations for the semiconductor industry offer other examples of pulsed  light creativity and effectiveness. The pulsed light technology developed by Xenon Corporation overcame the photoresist  cure limitation for ion implantation. Proven success with the pre ion implantation hard bake process as well as with surface cleaning and treatment has secured a valued niche in the semiconductor industry for Xenon Corporation's pulsed light technology

UV Curing for ion implantation  

 In a wide range of applications, pulsed light exceeds industry requirements and offers benefits that are distinctive:

  • Low, low, low heat
  • Instant on/off (start-stop-start)
  • Deep penetration with ease
  • Nitrogen Blanket not required
  • Ultra long lamp life
  • Broad spectrum, UV/Visible
  • Spiral, ring and split lamps
  • Mercury free safety
  • Process flexibility for simplicity
  • Energy efficient for cost savings

A new, highly flexible modular curing system which is designed for a wide rangeRC-800 Series-CoolCureXL of curing applications including DVD, medical device, semiconductor wafer, hard disc drive and optics fabrication, is being introduced by Xenon Corporation of Wilmington, MA.

The Xenon CoolCureXL RC-800 Series Curing System features high intensity pulsed UV light lamps (mercury-free) with single or dual lamp operation, a high speed controller that provides instant on/off and a high voltage power supply. Designed for easy integration into an in-line manufacturing process, this highly flexible, robust modular system permits top-down and bottom up curing configurations to provide higher throughput with low substrate temperature.

At Xenon Corporation, quality is considered a standard; the light sources components and systems are designed precisely to specification and are fully tested before being shipped. Answers to specific questions are always available and the company- is always ready to listen to challenges, to entertain the hard questions and then to go to work on unique solutions.
