Hi,
No, I'm not. (sorry)

Argon isn't going to etch epoxy or metal, and with only 100 watts is barely going to clean
organics.  Silicon is always tough.  I like Rudy's suggestion (I usually do) but if your going
to plasma use O2 with a dash (2%) of CF4 and crank up that power to like, say, 1000 watts.

Good Luck!
