Uniting research and technology.

At Comet Plasma Control Technologies, we are proud to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to advancing scientific and technological innovation.  In spring 2024, we embarked on a successful collaboration with the prestigious Laboratory of Plasma Physics (LPP) at Ecole Polytechnique in France to deploy our cutting-edge Synertia® RF Generator in their high-level research initiatives. The project, which centers on an experimental study of Radio Frequency Capacitively Coupled Plasmas (RF CCP) in oxygen-argon mixtures, delves into complex plasma parameters such as plasma impedance, electron density, and other critical measurements. This kind of research is essential for a deeper understanding of plasma physics, which has wide-reaching applications in fields ranging from materials science to semiconductor manufacturing and environmental sustainability.

When the LPP team initially approached us, their primary requirement was for a controlled, tailored waveform—something that our Synertia® RF Generator wasn’t originally designed to address. However, the flexibility and advanced capabilities of our generator quickly became apparent. The Synertia® RF Generator provided several key features that were crucial for the success of this research, including:

Our partnership with CNRS-Ecole Polytechnique exemplifies the power of collaboration between industry and academic research. Working alongside leading scientists and research institutions is crucial in advancing the field of plasma physics and ensuring that the tools and technologies we develop meet the real-world challenges faced by researchers.
