Gasonics 12-300000-30 High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS)

Introduction:
The Gasonics 12-300000-30 is a specialized high voltage power supply module designed to provide the necessary electrical potential for plasma ignition or ion acceleration within Gasonics process tools. It converts standard facility power into high-voltage DC or pulsed output required to sustain specific plasma densities.

Technical Specifications:

  • Output Voltage: 0 to 30 kV DC (adjustable)
  • Output Current: Up to 100 mA (depending on load)

Detailed content

  • Ripple: < 0.1% (peak-to-peak) for stable plasma operation
  • Regulation: Line and load regulation < 0.05%
  • Isolation: Fully isolated output with high dielectric strength
  • Interlocks: Hardwired safety interlocks for door access and over-current protection

Functional Features:

  • Remote Programming: Controlled via analog signal (0-10V) or digital interface from the tool’s main controller.
  • Arc Protection: Fast-acting crowbar circuits to short the output in case of an arc, protecting the supply and the chamber.
  • Soft Start: Gradual voltage ramp-up to prevent inrush current and component stress.
  • High Efficiency: Switching mode design to reduce heat dissipation and power consumption.

Application Scenarios:

  • Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII): Biasing the wafer or chamber walls to accelerate ions.
  • Sputtering (PVD): Providing the DC bias for target sputtering.
  • Plasma Enhanced CVD (PECVD): Assisting in the dissociation of precursor gases at lower temperatures.
  • Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Sources: Powering the microwave or magnetic confinement systems.
