Improve process repeatability, yield and throughput

Our RF design engineers create a full range of industry leading matching network solutions that meet or exceed your specifications and time to market.

Our RF Impedance Matching Networks regularly outperform those of our competitors. Our sensors and controls combine to make some of the fastest tuning matching networks in the industry.

Unlike other matching network suppliers, we have a full line of variable vacuum capacitors and the experts to design these key elements. With close collaboration between the two teams, Comet is in the unique position to create products that no other competitor can offer.

The Synertia® RFM works in powerful synergy with the Synertia® RFG. Precise sensors and an enhanced tuning algorithm in the matching network ensure consistent and stable plasma processes.

Features:

• Advanced customer-accessible metrology data
• Real-time data streaming:
• Full access to all available data from Synertia® RFG and RFM devices that allows reaction in real-time to change, accelerate process development and post-analyze incidents
• On-board monitoring and diagnostics to assist with preventive maintenance and enable actionable insights for more complex plasma applications
• Integration of Comet Vacuum Capacitors:
• Standard and customized capacitor designs, equipped with advanced technologies such as Ultra Life drive system or XtraVolt features for low frequency applications

Benefits

• Continuous process improvement via real time signal processing and data collection
• Superior process control and repeatability with fully digital and customizable controls
• Consistent, stable RF plasma with enhanced tuning algorithm
• Reduced total cost of ownership with improved MTBF and enhanced reliability
• Robust design with RF expertise, state-of-the-art modeling/virtual prototyping and extensive library of RF tuning circuits.
