Advanced Energy Introduces Fastest RF Matching Network
July 10 2012 - 8:30AM
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS), a leader in power
conversion solutions, today announced the introduction of the
Navigator® II FastCap™ matching network. The latest extension of
the Navigator platform, the FastCap matching network breaks new
ground by providing the fastest matching available for
next-generation thin-film plasma processes. The new product will be
featured this week at the Advanced Energy product showcase during
the SEMICON® West tradeshow in San Francisco.
Yuval Wasserman, president of Advanced Energy Thin Films, said,
"Over the last decade, our digital matching technology and
industry-exclusive tune-while-pulsing capabilities set new
standards in RF power conversion with over 15,000 units installed
worldwide. Now, with the launch of the Navigator II FastCap, our
innovation in solid-state matching technology provides the fastest
tuning times in the industry, addressing the increasing demand on
process predictability and reproducibility in sub-22 nm technology
nodes."
The Navigator II FastCap addresses the need for high-speed
matching using a patented hot-switchable capacitor arrays in place
of conventional vacuum capacitors, producing significant tune-time
advantage, and reducing tuning times to as little as 2 msec. The
FastCap solution is qualified for use with AE's Paramount® line of
RF power supplies. Currently under evaluation at several major
OEMs, this product is available for further evaluation on most
common low-power PECVD and etch bias applications. General product
availability with expanded power and frequency ranges are planned
for release in 2013.
