OverviewThe air-cooled RF generator TruPlasma RF 1001 Air delivers up to 1000 W of precisely dosed, reproducible RF power with 0.1 W resolution (100 mW steps). Designed for semiconductor, solar-cell and display production, it integrates patented TRUMPF Hüttinger technology and CombineLine output matching for stable plasma processes.
Key features- Smart Auto Frequency Tuning (AFT): fast, optimal frequency matching between generator and matchbox.
- High‑precision arc management: early arc detection and protection for sensitive processes and equipment.
- Multi‑level pulsing: configurable multi‑stage pulse shapes for advanced process control.
- Plug & Play modularity: ½‑19‑inch plug‑in form factor for easy replacement and retrofit.
- True 50 Ω output (CombineLine): consistent process power and reduced sensitivity to load variations.
- Uniform generator family: same technology across power classes for simplified integration and spare‑part strategy.
- Independence from RF cable length: no cable‑length adaptation required after system changes.
Applications- Reactive‑ion etching (RIE)
- Atomic layer deposition (ALD)
- Plasma‑enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)
- RF sputtering
- Production of semiconductors, MEMS, flat‑panel displays and solar cells
Customer benefits & system functions- High repeatability: energy dosing in 100 mW increments for wafer‑to‑wafer consistency.
