Key Technological Advantages:
The core of our HiPIMS power supply is a sophisticated triple-pulse architecture, providing independent control over each phase of the plasma discharge - a significant leap beyond standard HiPIMS.
- Independent Fire Pulse (Ignition): Ensures reliable and instantaneous plasma breakdown, guaranteeing process repeatability.
- Independent High-Power ImPulse (Ionization): Generates an extremely high plasma density, achieving ionization fractions exceeding 90% for most metals for fully dense, defect-free films.
- Independent Positive Kick Pulse (Deposition Enhancement): Actively mitigates the deposition rate limitation traditionally associated with HiPIMS, maximizing throughput without compromising quality.

Unmatched Control & Integration Features:
- Scalable Power for Any Application: Choose from 500W, 1kW, or 2kW output models to perfectly match your specific research needs or target size, from compact 2-inch targets up to 4-inch and larger rectangular or circular configurations.
- Precision Parameterization:
- Wide Operating Window: 100A peak current, user-selectable frequency (20 Hz - 10 kHz), and independently adjustable pulse for each pulse (Fire: 400-1.8kV, 1-100us, ImPulse: 0-1kV, 10-300us, Kick: 0-400V, 1-300us).
- Full Phase Shift Control: Precisely manipulate the temporal relationship between all three pulses to independently optimize ignition, ionization, and deposition phases for any target material.
- Comprehensive Process Diagnostics:
- Real-Time Voltage & Current Monitoring: Essential for process development, optimization, and reproducibility. Monitor key metrics directly for unparalleled process transparency.
- Unmatched Process Stability & Arc Management: Ensure flawless film quality and protect your investment with our advanced arc handling system.
- Ultra-Fast Arc Detection & Suppression: Minimizes defects caused by micro-arcs by reacting in nanoseconds.
- Three-Stage Arc Protection: Configurable levels allow for precise management from gentle suppression to hard shutdown, safeguarding both the power supply and your valuable deposition target.
- Seamless Automation & Integration:
- RS485 Modbus Communication: Standard industrial protocol allows for full remote control, data logging, and seamless integration into automated cluster tools or custom software environments. Perfect for unmanned operation and Industry 4.0 readiness.
- Master/Slave Configuration: Synchronize multiple units for dual-cathode co-sputtering or precisely synchronize with a substrate bias power supply.
- Rack-Mountable, Compact Design: Engineered for space-efficient labs and systems. With a streamlined 4U (175mm) height and standard 19-inch (480mm) rack width, it integrates neatly into any existing setup, saving valuable bench or cabinet space.
