CLX Series RF Power Supplies

Performance:
The CLX series low frequency RF power supplies are available in power ranges from 600 to 10,000 Watts with fixed frequencies from 20 kHz to 2 MHz, and frequency agile capability up to 10% bandwidth. The solid-state design provides low cost of ownership with high reliability.

Applications:
The CLX series is designed to meet the performance demand in RF-driven plasma systems for semiconductor processing. Applications include etch, RIE, parallel plate, ICP, RF sputtering, CVD and PVD, as well as induction and dielectric heating processes in industrial systems.

Features:

  • Reliable amplifier design with millions of trouble-free hours driving plasma systems worldwide
  • Local control via encoder and softkey inputs
  • Standard RS-232 and analog/digital control
  • Control circuitry ensures consistency during high VSWR conditions
  • Unique power monitoring measures delivered power into any impedance load
  • Active front panel with full controls and programmable microprocessor


Options:

  • Wide range of AC input line voltages available
  • Master/Slave operation
  • Turbotune Technology providing unique frequency tuning
  • DeviceNet


General Specifications:

  • Power control: 0-10 VDC input for 0 to maximum-rated output
  • Power control linearity: £ 2% of setting at power levels above 10% of rated power
  • Frequency: Any fixed frequency from 20 kHz to 2 MHz* (optional frequency agility +/- 10% of center frequency)
  • Frequency stability: 350 kHz +/- 1%

* CLX 600/H Frequency: Any fixed frequency from 20 kHz to 800 kHz
