Maximize throughput and reduce cycle time

High-speed response for efficient chucking and de-chucking

1. Utilizing proprietary high-speed response technology, Matsusada Precision's E-chuck power supplies enable rapid voltage application. This ensures fast, stable chucking operations with minimal delay.

2. For de-chucking, the power supplies not only turn off the high voltage but also actively discharge residual charges on the electrostatic chuck, wafer, or glass substrate.

E-chuck power supplies

* Smooth and rapid chucking and de-chucking significantly contribute to overall process efficiency.

Long service life and high reliability

Solid-state design for maintenance-free operation

  1. The ECA series and EJC series utilize solid-state switching for polarity inversion instead of electromechanical relays. This design eliminates contact wear issues, ensuring stable, long-term operation.
  2. Optional RF filters are available to protect the power supply from RF noise, preventing potential malfunctions and ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.

Versatile functions optimized for E-chuck applications

Matsusada Precision offers a comprehensive range of features tailored for electrostatic chuck applications. Key functions include two-channel outputs for bipolar E-chucks, user-defined high-voltage output waveforms, polarity reversal, and forced grounding. An isolation relay is also available to disconnect the E-chuck from the power supply, enabling charge retention during wafer transfer. These features allow for control logic fully customized to specific process requirements.

Opening the relay prevents voltage drop on the chuck while it is transferred to the next process.
