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:

Automatic frequency tuning

Optimizing performance with minimal manual adjustments, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

 

Precise RF measure- ments

Delivering accurate data that empowers researchers to draw meaningful conclusions and make informed decisions.

User-friendly interface

Providing real-time control and easy visualization of plasma variations, which greatly simplified the process for researchers, enhancing both productivity and accuracy.

Multi-level pulsing

Allowing for sophisticated control over experimental setups, which is critical in advanced plasma studies.
