How it works
A DC sputtering power supply provides controlled high-voltage DC power to a sputtering cathode or target.
Stable DC power is critical for plasma ignition, deposition rate control, and process repeatability in PVD systems.
Technical guide
DC output
Used with conductive targets where a direct-current plasma can be maintained.
magnetron sputtering
A PVD process that uses plasma to eject material from a target onto wafers or substrates.

- Advanced Energy MDX family of DC power supplies.
What to verify before purchase
- Verify exact input voltage, output rating, connector option, and revision/model number on the nameplate.
- Confirm arc handling and interface requirements for the target tool.
- Check whether the unit is single or dual configuration.
Confirm with the seller
- Specific firmware/configuration option is not confirmed from the part number alone.
