Advanced Energy Launches Ascent(R) Dual-Magnetron Sputtering Accessory at SVC TechCon 2013
April 23 2013 - 8:00AM
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS) announced today that
it will launch the Ascent® DMS dual-magnetron sputtering accessory
at the 56th annual SVC TechCon 2013 conference in Providence, Rhode
Island. Sponsored by the Society of Vacuum Coaters, this event is
the premier thin-films coating conference and exhibition in North
America.
The Advanced Energy (AE) Ascent DMS series offers repeatable,
tunable film parameters and lowers cost of ownership in large-area
glass, solar, flat panel display, AMOLED display and other
industrial, dual-magnetron sputtering applications. Designed to
deliver 30 to 180 kW of bipolar power—with independent power
control to each cathode—Ascent DMS units permit process engineers
to customize duty cycle to the wear profile of each target. This
enables increased target-erosion uniformity and full utilization of
each cathode for longer campaigns. A controllable pulse rise
feature offers significant advantages for producing more uniform
and higher density films, while unique power-delivery options
include selectable frequency, independent power-ratio regulation
for each magnetron and power, current or voltage regulation.
Yuval Wasserman, president of AE Thin Films, said, "With a
32-year power-conversion heritage, Advanced Energy offers the most
comprehensive PVD power portfolio in the industry. The Ascent DMS
technology is an exciting power-conversion advancement that further
refines process control and productivity for our customers in a way
that will help shape new innovation in the long-established field
of sputtering. Equally important for our customers, this technology
offers significant long-term material savings, boosts yield and
lengthens manufacturing uptime in order to bring superior yet
affordable new products to market."
Advanced Energy will showcase the Ascent DMS product, along with
its power-conversion and control solutions for reactive sputtering,
metallic sputtering and cathodic arc deposition at the SVC
exhibition. Display products will include:
- AE's recently acquired Solvix line of DC and pulsed-DC power
supplies for thin-film sputtering and cathodic arc solutions
- Ascent® AMS and Pinnacle® Plus+ DC power-delivery systems,
supporting a wide variety of thin-film coating applications
- Paramount® RF power-delivery systems with pulsing and pulse
synchronization, frequency tuning and a highly developed arc
management system
- Navio® digital matching networks for industrial applications,
leveraging AE's proven matching technology
- Sekidenko OR 400M optical fiber thermometers (OFT), delivering
high-speed, multi-channel temperature and emissivity measurement
and control across multiple processes and substrates
The SVC TechCon technology exhibition will take place at the
Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, April 23-24. In
addition to the exhibit, the company will participate in several
sessions of the technical program. To learn more about AE's
featured products and technology presentations, please visit the
