Reactive Sputtering Process Stability Reinforced by Advanced Energy’s Power Delivery Technology
June 22, 2026
This blog explores how oxygen and water vapor dynamics shape plasma behavior and TiO₂ film quality in reactive sputtering. Using Advanced Energy’s Ascent AMS and Ascent DMS power supplies, AE experts demonstrate how advanced pulsed‑DC regulation stabilizes deposition despite fluctuating reactive conditions. The study introduces a unified p* parameter that correlates gas effects with deposition rate and optical properties, offering a predictive path to more uniform, high‑performance oxide coatings.

A Model for Reliability – Accelerated Life Tests at Advanced Energy
August 09, 2018
We spend a lot of time thinking about how to make our products fail in the lab. We know that the more time, effort and thought we put into identifying failure modes during the early stages of development, the better the reliability of the end-state product.
