Features:
- Specifically designed to remove submicron particles from delicate surfaces such as silicon wafers, hard disks, and gallium arsenide, minimizing surface damage compared to lower-frequency alternatives
- Utilizes a continuous flow of cleaning liquid combined with ultrasonic radiation to physically remove contaminants without mechanical abrasion, preventing particle reattachment and ensuring high cleanliness levels
- It operates on universal AC100-240V power and includes external control I/O for seamless integration into automated semiconductor production lines
The W-357-1MPD operates at a nominal frequency of 1MHz, which is significantly higher than standard ultrasonic cleaners (typically 40kHz). Higher frequencies produce shorter wavelengths, resulting in smaller cavitation bubbles. These tiny bubbles implode with less violent energy, making them highly effective at penetrating small spaces and removing submicron particles without eroding or pitting the surface of the substrate. This makes the W-357-1MPD ideal for critical applications such as cleaning silicon wafers before vapor deposition or after CMP processing. The 40W rated output provides sufficient energy for efficient cleaning while maintaining the gentle action required for sensitive electronic components.
Traditional brush cleaning carries a high risk of generating scratches and electrostatic discharge damage. The W-357-1MPD eliminates this physical contact. It operates as a "spot-jet" system, radiating a focused stream of liquid that has been energized by 1MHz ultrasonic waves. The liquid acts as a transport medium; as the ultrasonic waves dislodge contaminants, the continuous flow immediately sweeps them away. This dynamic flow prevents the "particle reattachment" phenomenon common in tank-style dippers, where contaminants float in the bath and re-land on the product.
From an integration standpoint, the W-357-1MPD is designed to work with existing automation. It accepts a wide range of input voltages (AC100-240V) for global use and includes external drive contacts (DC24V) that allow a PLC or robot controller to turn the ultrasonic power on and off. It also features dry-run protection and alarm outputs to ensure safe operation. The system supports a fluid temperature range of 20-50°C and a flow rate of 3.5 L/min, making it adaptable to various DI water or chemical solutions.
The W-357-1MPD HONDA ELECTRONICS Power Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Semiconductor Wafers: Removes fine contaminants from the surface of individual wafers, preventing particle re-adhesion.
- Hard Disks: Cleans hard disk substrates and related precision components.
- Optical Components and Photomasks: Performs low-abrasion cleaning on photomasks, LCD glass, etc.
- Magnetic Heads: Suitable for precision magnetic components that are extremely sensitive to mechanical shock.
- Ambient Temperature: Typically required to be between 5°C and 40°C.
- Humidity: Up to 95% non-condensing for both operating and storage.
- Ambient Humidity: Maintained between 10% and 85% RH (non-condensing).
- Constant Power Control: The oscillator automatically tracks the voltage and current phase of the transducer, ensuring consistent output power regardless of changes in liquid level, temperature, or load, maintaining consistent cleaning force.
- External Communication: Equipped with RS-422A or RS-485 interfaces for remote parameter setting and monitoring.
- Analog Output (4-20mA): Outputs current power measurement values for data recording in the host system.
- Flow Interlock Protection: Supports connection to a flow switch. If the cleaning water flow rate falls below the critical value (e.g., 0.9 L/min), the system automatically shuts off the oscillator to protect the transducer from dry burning damage.
