RFG 5000-300 Specifications and Compatible Tools

The RFG 5000-300 delivers 5kW continuous RF power at 300kHz, with ±1% frequency stability and 48–52VDC input. It supports 0–10V analog modulation and operates in Class C amplification mode. Compatible tools include:

Lam 2300 Syndion HVM (2012–2018 models)
AMAT Centura Metal Etch (Rev. 3.2A firmware)
Lam Rainbow 4520XL (pre-2015 production)

Warning: Do not install this unit on Lam 2300 ASML variants (P/N 123-456-789); they require the RFG 5000-400 with 400kHz output. Cross-compatibility failures in 2025 caused 12% of tool downtime in HVM lines.

What to Check Before Buying a Used RFG 5000-300 in 2026

RF Output Test: Use a Bird 43 directional wattmeter to measure forward/reverse power. Reject units with >5% deviation from 5kW at full load.
Cooling System: Verify airflow >450 CFM and check for condensate buildup in the heat exchanger (P/N AE-CX-300).
IGBT Health: Inspect IGBT modules (P/N AE-IGBT-5000) for cracks or discoloration; replace if thermal resistance exceeds 0.15°C/W.
Service History: Units with >30,000 RF-hours since 2020 require a capacitor bank ESR test (using a Megger MIT 500); ESR >50mΩ indicates failure risk.
Firmware Compatibility: Confirm the unit runs firmware v3.7.2 or higher to support AMAT Centura Metal Etch models post-2016.

Q: Is the RFG 5000-300 better than the RFG 5000-400 for Lam 2300 HVM?
A: No. The RFG 5000-400 (400kHz) is required for Lam 2300 HVM tools with Rev. 4.0+ firmware. Using the RFG 5000-300 on these systems causes frequency mismatch errors.

Q: How long does lead time take in 2026?
A: 2–4 weeks after sourcing, assuming availability of IGBT modules. Delays >6 weeks occur if modules must be procured from decommissioned tools.

Q: Why is condition grade B?
A: Grade B units have minor cosmetic damage and may require capacitor or fan replacements. They pass all functional tests but lack full refurbishment.

Q: Can I use this on a 2010 Lam 2300 Syndion?
A: Yes, but only if the power supply (P/N LAM-PS-2300-10) is rated for 300
