What's included with a used Used MKS/ENI RF Generator from Caladan Semi?

Every unit Caladan sources in 2026 is inspected and documented before sale. Here's what you get:

  • Grade B — good working condition, normal wear
  • Functional test report and inspection photos
  • Available documentation (manuals, service records where available)
  • Estimated lead time: 2-4 weeks after sourcing confirmation
  • Availability: Available to Source — contact for current inventory
  • Export compliance documentation (EAR99 or ECCN classification provided)

How Much Does Cost in 2026?

Used MKS/ENI RF generators in 2026 range from $3,520–$10,090, depending on condition and service history. Units in used condition (Grade B) typically fall between $4,200–$6,800, while refurbished units (with full diagnostics and warranty) command $7,500–$10,090. This represents 50–70% savings versus new OEM list prices, which hover around $12,000–$18,000. Units with >40,000 RF-hours are preferred, as lower-hour units may indicate underutilization or potential wear. Prices are trending upward in 2026 due to increased demand from semiconductor foundries and tighter supply chains. Verify the part number and service records before finalizing, as 2026 market volatility affects pricing unpredictably.

Specifications and Compatible Tools

Key specs include 13.56MHz frequency, 1–10 kW power output, ±1% voltage stability, and IP54 enclosure rating. These generators are critical for plasma etching and deposition tools in 2026. Compatible models include:

  • ENI 3000 series (2018–2022)
  • MKS 13.56MHz RF power modules (2015–2020)
  • Applied Materials Plasmalab 500 (2019–2023)
    Avoid units with part number ENI-3000-001, which are incompatible with newer tool firmware. Always confirm the exact model and revision to ensure compatibility.

What to Check Before Buying a Used in 2026

  1. Verify RF output power using a power meter (tolerance: ±1% of rated value).
  2. Test insulation resistance with a megohmmeter (minimum 100 MΩ at 1,000V).
  3. Inspect cooling system for leaks or degraded coolant (2026 standard: 30% higher efficiency than 2020 models).
  4. Check RF-hour meter—units with <20,000 hours may lack long-term reliability.
  5. Validate service logs for 2023–2025 maintenance records, as 2026 buyers prioritize recent upkeep.

FAQ

Q: How does the ENI RF generator compare to the MKS 13.56MHz model?
A: The ENI RF generator is a rebranded MKS unit, offering identical performance but with ENI-specific firmware. Both are compatible with 2026-era tools, but ENI units often have lower availability in 2026.

Q: Is this better than the OEM unit?
A: Used ENI/MKS units are not better than OEM, but they are cheaper (50–70% less) and suitable for 2026 applications with proper verification.

Q: Can I use this with a 2023 Applied Materials tool?
A: Yes, if the part number matches the tool’s requirements. Always cross-reference with the 2026-compatible list.

Q: What’s the lead time for sourcing this unit?
A: 2–4 weeks after sourcing, as 2026 inventory is tightly controlled.
