Measures upto 3keV

Suitable for grounded, floating and pulsed DC biased conditions

IEDF can be adjusted for DC bias potential

Semion 3KeV

The Semion 3keV System is a new Retarding Field Energy Analyser (RFEA) from Impedans Ltd which extends the range of the Semion sensor platform. It can measure the ion flux and ion energy distribution function in real time with up to 3 kV, three times what the standard Semion system can achieve under RF bias conditions. The sensor consists of an anodized aluminium wafer (as standard) with a single sensing element placed where the substrate would normally sit. The sensing element can have various current sensitivities depending on the expected plasma density, covering the full range of plasma applications. The Semion 3 kV System is the ideal sensor for rapid plasma characterisation, based on the industry standard ion energy measurement platform, which has over 100 publications to date.

Max RF Bias: 3kV pk-pk *
Max DC Bias: -1500V

Measure key process parameters live

Measure the key parameters of process performance; ion flux and ion energy distribution function.

3kV RF Bias & Energy Range

The system can measure energy range for a RF Bias Voltage (Applied to Sensor) of maximum 3000 V peak-to-peak at 13.56MHz

Substrate Options

Our RFEA sensors come with multiple substrate shapes and materials. The sensing elements and holder substrates are available in anodised aluminium, bare aluminium or stainless-steel options.

Replaceable Elements

All of our systems come with replaceable sensing elements (button probes) which can be easily replaced when maintenance is needed.

Easy Installation

Our semion systems are modular and can be quickly and easily installed on chambers with various flange options.

Intuitive Software

Intuitive Software

Our software, which can be installed on any PC or laptop, is very intuitive and user friendly.
