Our RF Power capabilities

When it comes to critical power systems, failure is not an option

That’s why XP Power is committed to providing optimum reliability in its RF power solutions, with controls and monitors that enable you to keep a close eye on performance.  

We have easy-to-integrate RF generators with latest communication protocols and advanced pulsing capabilities. Combined with our leading-edge impedance matching networks, we help our customers to solve their most high-value problems. 

Enhanced process repeatability and ultimate lifetime value

We provide a wide range of RF plasma generators and impedance matching networks configurable to fit your unique application. From semiconductor processing to industrial applications, we have products to meet your unique process requirements.

XP Power RF generators are designed with a new stabilizing technology that eliminates RF oscillations whenever process condition changes. This results in a more repeatable power delivery run to run. By removing the instability, the components also operate in a safer regime, improving the longevity of your RF power delivery system.
