Dynamic Reverse Pulsing – What About the Anode?
十二月 04, 2023
By Gayatri Rane
A previous AE blog, Dynamic Reverse Pulsing – What About Duty Cycle?, discussed reactive sputter deposition of insulating thin films in large-area coaters, describing the benefits of using the Dynamic Reverse Pulse (DRP) power-delivery mode over the bipolar (BP) mode of dual magnetron sputtering. In DRP mode , dual targets are bipolar pulsed against an explicit anode and the duty cycle can be varied so that the polarity is positive on the target for a shorter time during pulsing. This allows clearing of charge build-up on the targets. In our studies, DRP mode showed increased deposition rate and reduced substrate temperature when compared to similar depositions with the BP mode.

Powering Electrosurgery: Precise Control and Delivery of RF Energy
十月 23, 2023
By Todd Huston
Medical applications have made use of radio frequency (RF) energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or electrical currents for over 125 years. The ability to transect and seal vessels and tissue effectively and safely, for example, is a critical surgical task with RF-based techniques being the gold standard for cutting and cauterizing.
