Oil Dielectic
SC13 Series
Ultra-Stable, Oil-Dielectric RF Termination Loads
For maximum process repeatability and consistency, modern plasma applications require precise RF
power regulation and control. A key component in ensuring accurate & repeatable RF power delivery
to the chamber is calibration, regulation & monitoring of the RF generator. Bird now oers ultra-stable, low
VSWR loads for quick and precise measurement of generator power output when used with precision
power sensors such as the Bird 4020 series. Bird® models 8865SC13, 8890-300SC13, 8921SC13 and
8931 SC models not only provide low VSWR but also less than 0.1 dB total change in VSWR at processcritical frequencies. There is no need for load warm-up or risk of repeatability due to calibration for
different lengths of time. This can minimize the errors associated with this calibration and control
one of the more critical process variables.
