고전압 용량성 결합 플라즈마 시스템의 개선된 전압 파형 출력을 위한 펄스 전류 발생장치 회로 = Current Source Type Pulse Generator with Improved Output Voltage Waveform for High Voltage Capacitively Coupled Plasma System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study proposes a current source-type pulse generator to improve output voltage and current waveforms under a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) system. The proposed circuit comprises two parallel-connected current source-type converters. These converters can satisfy the required output waveforms of plasma processing. The parallel-connected converters operate without reverse current fault by applying a time-delay control technique. Conventional voltage source converters based on pulse power supply exhibit drawbacks in short-circuit current, and problems occur when they are applied to a CCP system. The proposed pulse power supply based on a current source converter fundamentally solves the short-circuit current problem. Therefore, this topology can improve the voltage and current accuracy of a CCP system.
