The treatment of surfaces by plasma immersion ion implantation requires pulsed power modulators to provide negative high voltage pulses. To achieve this requirement, we have developed three basic circuit configurations in our laboratory: pulse forming network (PFN), hard-tube pulser (HT) and Blumlein line. In this paper we discuss these three types of circuit topologies.As experimental results, first we present the voltage/current characteristic waveforms of PFN and HT pulsers in the PIII treatment of different materials (aluminum, silicon and stainless steel) as well we describe the surface characterization of the materials thereof treated.And finally,we show recent high voltage tests of a high voltage Blumlein pulser (150kV/300A/1mus) to be used in surface treatments of polymers and aluminum alloys. |
