This section applies to all Pegasus tools.


It is clear that optimizing the Bosch processes on the Pegasus can be done in countless ways. Reducing the cycle time is a very convenient way of getting rid of, or at least reducing, scallops. The faster the process switches the smaller the scallops will be. However, at some point the hardware (MFS's, RF generators, APC valve) cannot keep up with the demand and the process will essentially be continuous causing the Bosch process to break down. In its original setup, the Pegasus had standard processes with cycle durations down to 2 seconds. The hardware on the Pegasus is indeed very fast and allows faster switching. The limiting factor in the Bosch process was identified by Henri Jansen - and we have taken steps to improve this as described below.
