Advanced Energy Powers the Future of Thin Films With Innovative Technology at SVC TechCon 2014
May 06 2014 - 2:23PM
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS), a world leader in
power conversion for thin-film deposition, today will introduce its
enhanced pulsing technology suite at the 57th annual SVC TechCon
2014 conference in Chicago. Sponsored by the Society of Vacuum
Coaters, this event is the premier vacuum coating conference and
exhibition in North America. The Advanced Energy (AE) pulsing
lineup leverages more than 20 years of history to bring precision
power delivery to small- and large-area industrial vacuum coating
applications, such as glass, flat panel display, AMOLED display,
hard coatings and optical coatings. The first to introduce
regulated pulsing to the market in the early 1990s for newly
developed reactive sputtering processes, AE is extending its broad
portfolio of pulsing products to enable the next wave of
innovation. Its newest DC and RF power conversion systems offer
advanced integrated pulsing options—including controlled voltage
reversal, standard pulsing, bipolar pulsing, bias pulsing and arc
pulsing, as well as synchronized pulsing between bias and arc
sources. With AE's controlled, precise, shaped power delivery,
process engineers can tailor surface properties while maintaining
high deposition rates more efficiently.
Designed to deliver 30 to 180 kW of bipolar power—with
independent power control to each cathode—the Ascent® AMS and DMS
power conversion products include a dynamic control system,
extremely fast arc handling and the lowest stored energy in the
industry. Despite the advanced feature set, the Ascent AMS and DMS
products offer industry-leading cost of ownership through the
customized duty cycle management of power to each target for
increased target-erosion uniformity and full utilization of each
cathode. The result is longer campaigns and an improved bottom
line. Other unique features include selectable frequency and
patented boost technology for optimized power delivery to each
magnetron.
Yuval Wasserman, president of precision power, said, "Our
comprehensive pulsing lineup shows the bold new direction that we,
alongside our customers, envision for the future of sputtering in
the global thin-film and industrial markets. The Ascent AMS and DMS
products are truly game changers for precision power conversion,
offering state-of-the art features, lowest cost of ownership and
flexible operating modes for those customers that simply want to
plug-and-run or those that wish to optimize the configurable
settings for maximum power delivery and ROI. Stable processes,
higher quality films and low cost of ownership equate to a strong
return on investment."
Advanced Energy will showcase its power conversion products for
reactive sputtering, metallic sputtering and cathodic arc
deposition at the SVC exhibition. Display units will include:
- Ascent® AMS and DMS, as well as Pinnacle® Plus+ DC
power-delivery systems, supporting a wide variety of thin-film
coating applications
- Solvix® DC and pulsed-DC power delivery systems for sputtering
and cathodic arc deposition
- Paramount® RF power delivery system with pulsing and pulse
synchronization, frequency tuning and a highly developed arc
management system
- Navio® digital matching network for industrial
applications
- Sekidenko OR4000T optical fiber thermometer (OFT) and OR400M
optical pyrometer for temperature measurement and control
- Power controller modules (SCRs) for industrial applications
requiring precise thermal control
The SVC TechCon exhibition will take place at the Hyatt Regency
Chicago, May 6 - 7. In addition to the exhibition, the company will
participate in several sessions of the technical program. To learn
