March Plasma Systems Announces Improved AP-1000 Plasma System for Advanced Plasma Processing
Concord, CA (ContentDesk) May 11, 2006 -- March Plasma Systems announced the release of an improved version of its highly successful AP-1000 plasma system for high-volume plasma processing of semiconductor and microelectronics devices.
The current AP-1000 system already enjoys a large installed base at customer sites worldwide, with over 200 systems currently in the field.
The redesigned version provides the same production-proven plasma technology and performance in a smaller, more compact and easier-to-service design.
Every square inch of clean room and manufacturing space is valuable, said Peter Bierhuis, President of March. We have improved the new AP-1000 system to consume 24% less actual floor space than before, and 45% less effective floor space when you include all of the required maintenance areas.
We have also moved key components to make them more accessible and easier to service.
An added benefit for large-scale manufacturing facilities is that more AP-1000 systems can be placed side-by-side in a smaller area because now the chassis is smaller, there are no required maintenance areas at the sides of the system, and the plasma chamber door has been redesigned.
As before, the AP-1000 system is capable of a variety of plasma modes and can handle a wide range of plasma gasses. The AP-1000 remains the best-in-class choice for batch-type semiconductor and microelectronics applications.
March specifically designed the new AP-1000 system with existing customers in mind so that process re-qualification is not required when switching to the improved system.
Accordingly, new AP-1000 system process performance is guaranteed for customers with copy-exact requirements.

How Do Plasma Televisions Work?
Plasma TVs have been one of the most popular home entertainment solutions on the market for several years.
They offer outstanding resolution and a quality picture and are usually capable of displaying HDTV signals, allowing you to watch all of your favourite HDTV programs.
Compared to rear projection TVs, plasma technology offers some of the best viewing angles- no need to fight over the best seat anymore- and offer uniform screen brightness.
But how does plasma technology work?
It's pretty simple.
Some form of inert gas- say Xenon, for example, is inserted between two plates, which are held together, between which are over two million pixels, capable of producing a mind-boggling array of colors.
The gas is then energized by a charge which turns it into a viscous substance, creating an ultraviolet light, which allows each pixel to display the appropriate color.
Unlike rear-projection TVs, each pixel in a plasma display...

The Best Plasma TVs
Plasma TVs are the hottest thing in home entertainment, offering a crystal clear image with high quality resolution. The monitor is often less than a few inches thick, so it doesn't need as much space as its traditional counterparts. It uses less electricity than a regular television and, unlike the old CRT TVs, there is no image disturbance if the monitor is placed near large speakers.But with so many plasma TVs on the market, how do you know which is the best one to buy? Firstly, you should decide on your budget. Knowing how much you have to spend will definitely be a good place to start. Plasma TVs generally start at around $700.00 and can go as high as $4,000.00, so it's important to know what you can afford before you start shopping.
Once you've worked out how much you want to spend, you need to decide whether you want your new plasma television to consist of more than just a plasma display or if you want it to have a TV tuner, as well. The pricier plasma TVs will have a...

The Facts About DLP VS Plasma TVs
With advancing technology revolutionizing the television viewing field, consumers have more choices than ever before. And as is often the case with electronics, it can be confusing. Terms and acronyms are used in the electronics industry that you just don't find anywhere else, and if you aren't careful it can keep you from buying newer technology simply because you don't understand it well. That can certainly be the case with modern TV monitors.
The old analog TV sets of yesteryear did not have to have a very advanced monitor because the TV signal was only so good anyway, So CRT monitors lasted as the screen choice for decades. But now with HDTV moving the entire viewing experience forward in dramatic fashion, better ways of producing the on-screen image is in full production.
Two of those competing screen technologies are plasma TVs and DLPs (digital light processing TVs).
Both types of screen technologies have been around for a while, although DLPs...
