Performance
The CDX dual frequency RF generator comes in a 2000 watt design. The high frequency (HF) section of the CDX provides 1000 watts of power, with optional frequencies from 2 to 60 MHz. The low frequency (LF) section can deliver 1000 watts, with optional fixed or variable frequencies ranging from 20 kHz to our new 13.56 MHz.

  • Complies to CE-Mark standards and is ETL Marked and SEMI F47 compliant
  • Protection circuits safeguard the amplifiers from over-voltage, over-current and over-power operating conditions
  • Gain-control circuitry stabilizes output power against line and load variations, and limits power during high VSWR conditions
  • Unique power monitoring in the low-frequency section measures delivered power into any impedance load
  • Optional phase locked output in the low- frequency section eliminates the need for a matching network in many applications

This solid-state generator is ideal for plasma applications including bias, etch, deposition and ashing in semiconductor processing, as well as photovoltaic applications.
