Comet Group RF power systems and industrial X-ray solutions

Comet Group Swiss engineering heritage and RF technology leadership

Established in Flamatt, Switzerland in 1948, Comet Group has accumulated more than seven decades of excellence in developing advanced industrial technologies.

Focusing primarily upon radio frequency plasma control and industrial X-ray solutions, the company serves as an international technology benchmark across high-end semiconductor manufacturing.

Operating production centers across Switzerland, Germany, and the United States, Comet Group unites three focused divisions: Plasma Control Technologies for RF delivery, X-ray Modules for metal ceramic sources, and Comet Yxlon for microfocus computed tomography, supplying integrated high-voltage components globally.

Comet Plasma Control Technologies RF generators for wafer etching

Comet Plasma Control Technologies develops precision radio frequency power delivery systems engineered for demanding semiconductor fabrication.

The RF generators ensure stable plasma ignition and controlled discharge kinetics throughout silicon wafer etching and dielectric thin-film deposition chambers.

The generators deliver continuous-wave and pulsing outputs with sub-percent power repeatability across high-volume production.

Integrated digital microcontrollers identify micro-arc instabilities rapidly, suppressing electrical transients to preserve microscopic circuit geometries and maintain high semiconductor yield.

Automated impedance matching networks and high-voltage vacuum capacitors

Comet PCT automated matching networks continuously compensate for dynamic impedance fluctuations occurring between high-frequency generator outputs and variable plasma reactor loads.

Closed-loop servo actuators adjust variable vacuum capacitors rapidly, driving reflected high-frequency power down to negligible levels.

Comet vacuum capacitors exhibit minimal dielectric dissipation factors while withstanding severe RF peak voltages and high-frequency currents reaching hundreds of amperes. These assemblies sustain uninterrupted plasma stability during rapid process gas transitions and chamber pressure variations.

Metal ceramic industrial X-ray tubes and stationary source modules

The Comet X-ray Modules division manufactures constant-potential metal ceramic X-ray tubes providing small focal spot geometries.

In comparison with traditional glass tubes, the metal ceramic envelope delivers elevated mechanical ruggedness, improved thermal dissipation, and dependable insulation at voltages up to 600 kV.

Comet stationary modules generate high-intensity X-ray beams for non-destructive testing of heavy pipeline welds, internal porosity inspection in metal alloy parts, and structural examination of composite aerostructures.

The sources integrate smoothly into stationary inspection booths and mobile inspection equipment.

Comet Yxlon microfocus computed tomography and electronic packaging inspection

Under the Comet Yxlon brand, the manufacturer builds advanced radioscopic and 3D microfocus computed tomography systems for the electronics industry.

The inspection machinery performs non-destructive volumetric evaluations of multilayer printed circuit boards, semiconductor packages, and BGA solder joints at submicron resolutions.

Yxlon digital reconstruction algorithms generate complete volumetric geometry models of internal microstructures, measuring solder void ratios and microscopic cracks precisely. The systems support metallurgical failure research laboratories alongside inline industrial quality auditing.

Preventive maintenance, cooling assemblies, and component identification

Sustaining extended operating longevity and precision across Comet Group installations requires timely replacement of wear items and thermal equilibrium preservation.

High-power RF generators and X-ray tube inserts depend upon dedicated liquid cooling stations with regulated flow and temperature stability.

For scheduled overhauls, we supply replacement X-ray tubes, shielded high-voltage cables, cooling circulation pumps, flow sensors, and matching network motor drives.

Accurate component identification references the serial number and manufacturing specifications stamped upon the equipment metallic nameplate.
