1080-01772 RF Generator Control Module

Key Features and Advantages

The Applied Materials 1080-01772 RF generator module delivers precision plasma control for semiconductor manufacturing processes. Engineered for advanced CVD and etch applications, its 13.56 MHz output with ±0.05% frequency stability ensures consistent plasma characteristics critical for nanometer-scale processing. The module’s 0-5000W power range with ±1% stability enables precise control of reaction kinetics in vacuum chambers.

Advanced impedance matching: Featuring automatic matching with 1.5 μs response time, the 1080-01772 maintains optimal power transfer despite changing plasma conditions. Its harmonic distortion suppression (< -30 dBc) prevents interference with sensitive process monitoring equipment. Real-time arc detection and suppression circuitry protects wafers and chamber components from damage during transient events.
