Gridless Ion Source Power Supplies

Advanced Digital Power and Control for Gridless Ion Sources

The Intlvac Gridless Ion Source Power Supply is an advanced digital power and control platform engineered to deliver stable, efficient, and reliable operation for End-Hall ion sources. Built with modern switching power technology and integrated system control, the controller provides precise discharge and emission regulation while maintaining low stored energy and high operational stability. Designed for demanding thin film process environments, the system combines rapid response, intelligent system automation, and integrated gas flow control in a compact 19-inch rack-mount controller. Reverse compatibility with earlier Mark I and Mark II platforms allows seamless upgrades while improving plasma stability, reliability, and filament lifetime.
