Okay, which is faster, cheaper, lower risk: procuring a silicone removal
product to remove possible silicone contamination from the circuit board or
finding an outside circuit board facility with plasma cleaning capability;
cost of cleaner and time to clean versus outside plasma and shipping; and
risk - risk of cross contamination to an IC process (high "severity" should
it happen) vs sending parts out for cleaning.  I'm gonna stick with..."don't
come near my IC process with that filthy circuit board"!

Good Afternoon Doug,
My initial instinct is to go right along with Phil and Jana, silicone
contamination is an ugly beast.  But if you're hellbent on plasma, there is
a company in Indy not far from good 'ol NAC (north of Raymond and east of
I-65), called Dynaloy, Inc.
They manufacture products for the removal of silicones (along with acrylics,
epoxies and urethanes).
