Prodrive Technologies introduces technology that replaces solid-state and mechanical matchboxes challenged by varying plasma load conditions.

The instant plasma generator expands control over plasma conditions for atomic-scale plasma etch and deposition processing. It supports wafer ignition and stabilization through high-speed pulsing and near-arbitrary envelope control while maintaining accurate power delivery.

  • No matchbox or frequency tuning needed

    Eliminates the use of slow and unprecise matching techniques such as variable components or frequency tuning.

  • No frequency tuning required

    Saves installation, setup and matching time.

  • Microsecond-level output power settling

    Control the plasma near real-time, microseconds.

  • Advanced control mechanism

    The generator control is optimized for use with plasma loads.
