High Purity

Cleaning for Semiconductors, Optics & Precision Engineering

Industrial ultra-fine cleaning at the atomic level – with validated process reliability

Why choose High Purity Cleaning with BvL?

When components demand absolute cleanliness—particulate down to 0.5 µm and residue-free at the molecular level—you need more than technology: a deep understanding of materials, processes, and requirements.

With our modular Atlantic immersion cleaning system, we offer a solution precisely tailored to your components, cleanliness targets, and industry standards—from Cleaning Grade 2 to Grade 1, for example for ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) cleaning.

What drives our customers in High Purity projects

In projects with the highest purity requirements we repeatedly encounter similar questions:

How do we meet rising particulate and molecular cleanliness requirements—for example for Grade-1 parts?
How do we reliably clean complex geometries and delicate micro-assemblies?
How can validatable processes be documented and reproduced with confidence?
How can integration into existing production environments or cleanrooms be achieved without friction?

Our answer:

A technically sophisticated, flexibly configurable precision cleaning system

For the toughest demands in semiconductor, optics, and precision-parts cleaning—with measurable cleanliness and reliable support in every project phase.

From practical experience

What drives our customers in High Purity projects

Our Atlantic multi-chamber immersion system

Typical fields of application

Semiconductor industry:

Cleaning complex ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) components, parts for EUV and DUV lithography, housings, carriers, wafer-handling systems

Requirements:
Extremely low particle count down to 0.5 µm, controlled outgassing of H₂O and hydrocarbons, HIO elements in low atomic-percent ranges

Optics industry:

Ultra-fine cleaning of lenses, prisms, filters, mounts, opto-mechanical assemblies

Objective:
Residue-free surfaces before coating or assembly; highest purity for sensitive materials

Precision engineering:

Cleaning micro-assemblies, bearings, springs, sensors, components with tight tolerances

Focus:
Secure removal of machining residues such as coolants, oils, and particles without affecting the material

Our solution: the Atlantic immersion cleaning system

With Atlantic we provide a high-performance system for industrial High Purity cleaning that excels in flexibility, cleaning performance, and process stability:

Technical features (excerpt):

Multi-stage cleaning processes with a customizable number of wash, rinse, and drying stations
Ultrasonic cleaning (e.g., 40, 80, and 120 kHz; multi-frequency systems; ultrasonic generators with sweep function for delicate geometries)
Use of deionized and ultrapure water (UPW) with low conductivity and TOC values
HEPA-filtered hot-air and vacuum drying
Workpiece movement via oscillation and rotation
Fully automatic process monitoring (e.g., conductivity, pH, bath maintenance)
Compatible with a wide range of materials: aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, PEEK, and more
Freely programmable process sequence for maximum flexibility
Batch-specific, gap-free documentation of process parameters

Results from PMC and residual gas analysis (RGA):

Our Atlantic already meets common industry cleanliness standards—Grade 1 for particles and Grade 2 for molecular contaminants.

Our Atlantic multi-chamber immersion system

Our immersion cleaning systems are used wherever the highest technical cleanliness is required on sensitive components—from semiconductors and optics manufacturing to precision-parts cleaning.
