How it works

The NE 950 employs two AD-TEC AX-1000 RF generators, one for the ICP source and one for the bias. The system includes two matchboxes: an AMV-1000-12.5M-CT and an AMV-1000-AV3. Pressure is regulated by an MKS T3PIA valve and MKS E28D gauge. The vacuum system uses a Shimadzu TMP-2203LMTG turbo pump.[1]
