A novel circuit which is capable of producing pulsed high voltage with discrete steps based on Marx generator has been developed for ion bombardment in plasma immersion, and it is realized by means of each discharge IG- BT switching on at different time by adjusting the delay time of drive signals. A compact and robust circuit is designed, using a high-voltage isolation transformer with one primary winding and ten secondary windings for control signal and designed delay drive unit, to meet the requirements of rapidity of switch off and overcurrent protection of IGBT. A pulsed high voltage with amplitude of 10kV, peak current of 30A, pulse width of 3-30 Vs, frequency of 20-500 Hz and voltage steps of 10 are achieved. The developed circuit with several kinds of output voltage waveforms is applied to the plasma load with high reliability, and possesses the praeticability for ion bombardment or hybrid surface modification in plasma immersion mode. The higher pulse voltage may be achieved using more Marx Unit with the same control mode for wide application.
