Many different cleaning applications have been successfully demonstrated:

• contamination removal from metals, ceramics, polymers, and glasses
• particle and stain removal from Si, InP, and GaAs wafers
• cleaning optics, i.e., coated lenses, laser, IR and UV optics
• sample preparation before surface analysis (Auger, XPS, SIMS) and AFM
• general laboratory, production, and cleanroom cleaning
• substrate preparation
• manufacturing of many metal and ceramic parts and assemblies
• cleaning vacuum systems components, bellows, electron and ion optics
• removing particles from microelectronic and hybrid circuits
• art restoration, fire recovery, telescopes, and many many more.
