New Paralax Igniter™ Solid
State RF Generator is Smaller, Lighter, Water Cooled for Reliable
Operation in Harsh Environments
Labco/Trazar Introduce New Igniter Family of RF Generators in
13-, 27- and 40-MHz Frequencies, Power Levels Up to 5 kW
Santa Clara, CA -- January 16, 2001 --- Labco, an established
global distributor and servicer of ICP and RF power generation
products, and Trazar, a U.S. manufacturer well known in the semiconductor
industry for its custom-designed automatic impedance matching systems,
are introducing a new family of solid state, water-cooled RF generators
in 13-, 27- and 40-MHz frequencies, with power levels up to 5 kW.
The first two RF generators in the Igniter family to be introduced
at Pittcon 2001in Booth 1604 are the Paralax Igniter™, a
27.12 MHz, 1200 watt RF generator specifically designed for ICP
applications, and the Shoe Box Igniter™, a 13.56 MHz, 3 kW
model.
In lieu of power transformers, the Igniter RF generators feature
FETs (switching power supplies) to provide high forward-ignition
power and stable run power. The water-cooled Paralax Igniter also
features a closed re-circulating system and limited airflow to
allow it to function reliably in harsh environments.
“Reliable, stable RF power is essential for the formation
of plasma in ICP applications,” says Gary Ater, Trazar’s
director of marketing. “The Paralax Igniter not only meets
a laboratory’s power requirements, but can also be used in
factories or other production environments with high levels of
dust, dirt or chemical pollutants.”
In addition to reliability, the use of advanced power supply technology
results in an RF generator that, at 6-inches by 12-inches by 12-inches
(HWD) and at 32 lbs., is 30 percent smaller and 20 percent lighter
than competing solid state units.
Trazar Corporation was founded in 1987 to develop custom automatic
impedance matching networks for research and development projects
in the semiconductor and medical industries. Corporate headquarters
are located at 4255 Burton Drive
