Ascent AMS DC Power Supplies As manufacturing techniques advance, new materials and cathode designs pose greater challenges to process stability and film repeatability. Ascent® AMS power supplies deliver stable, repeatable power, regardless of process material or cathode design. Benefits ■ High film quality and throughput ■ Reduced film, substrate, and equipment damage ■ Stable throughput and power delivery under extreme arcing conditions ■ Easy integration and control Features ■ Arc Management System™ (AMS) technology — customer pre-sets for metal and ceramic targets ■ Set Point...

Industry-Leading Arc Management Many insulative target materials used in magnetron PVD processes produce up to thousands of arcs per second — a level that requires more than the rudimentary detection and handling that conventional arc management provides. With three key innovations — Arc Management System™ technology, Set Point Compensation™ technology, and Arc-Sync technology — Ascent AMS power supplies enable the use of new target materials, with reduced film and equipment damage, stable throughput, and the ability to synchronize the arc responses of connected units. Arc Management System...
