Always guarantees the full power output of the RF generator

Perfect process control at all times

The matchbox ensures fast and direct impedance adjustment to 50 ohms at all times – thus guaranteeing the full power output of the RF generator in the process. The seamless communication between the matchbox and the generator enables optimal process monitoring and early arc detection.

User-friendly software TruControl Power

All parameters at a glance

The real time measurement of RF input and output power indicates dynamic impedance changes, and cooling sensors enable a reliable prediction of power loss. With the graphical operating software with complex display options (Smith chart, real time oscilloscope), you have an overview all of the relevant process parameters.

TruPlasma RF_Systemport

TRUMPF SystemPort

SystemPort enables closed loop control through the measurement of the RF signal directly at the input and output of the matchbox. All measured values are available to the RF generator. This means all the process parameters can be better monitored, the matchbox protected, and early arc detection guaranteed. The entire RF system can therefore be controlled via a single generator interface.

Various options enable optimal adjustment of the TRUMPF RF system to your application.

RF current metering

Highly accurate AC current metering to detect plasma anomalies, placed in the matchbox close to the process, directly at the chamber.

Arc management

The well-grounded arc management is the ideal module for optimized plasma process control. Targeted arc detection guarantees the highest productivity possible, while protecting the product and the system at the same time.

Interfaces

Analog/digital, PROFIBUS, and EtherCAT are available as optional interfaces. The standard interfaces are EtherNet, SystemPort, and RS232/485.

User-friendly software TruControl Power

Master oscillator for the stabilization of critical synchronous plasma processes
Master oscillators

Master oscillators can be used to stabilize and optimize critical synchronous plasma processes. An integrated, digital frequency and phase synthesizer ensures excellent frequency and phase stability and supports the adjustment of the phase position with a very small increment. Various master oscillator designs for the frequency 13.56 MHz as well as different frequency combinations are available.

RF switches for RF generator use in flexible plasma systems.

TRUMPF Hüttinger offers coaxial cables that are specifically designed for operation in 50-ohm systems for RF power transmission.

Generator and matchbox: A perfectly matched system solution

Optimal control of the plasma process

Plasma processes behave like a complex, variable load, to which the power supply from the generator needs to be continually adjusted. Active matchboxes handle this task, ensuring precise adjustment to the optimal impedance of 50 ohms at all times. The result is a perfectly matched system solution, the TRUMPF RF System. The generator and matchbox can be easily integrated into your existing process environment via various interfaces, including EtherCAT. You can also gain an optimized system solution through an intelligent generator/matchbox connection, the so-called SystemPort.
