Phive was founded by Dr Bert Ellingboe and Bernard Hensey in 2006 to develop plasma sources that address the current and future technical requirement for advanced industrial plasma applications.

Phive plasma sources have applications in semiconductor wafer, LCD and solar cell fabrication industries.

The Phive advanced plasma source address the wafer fabrication industry trends for higher frequencies, larger wafer areas (450 mm in 2014, 650 mm in 2022) and smaller plasma volumes

In the LCD and Solar Cell markets Phive Plasma Sources can allow for the plasma source extensibility that allow for larger LCD screen or roll to roll process applications.
