2. Commonly used circuit topologies for high-power pulse generation

The circuit topologies commonly used for the generation of low-pressure plasmas in the HiPIMS regime and, subsequently, for the generation of the bipolar HiPIMS regime, are discussed in this chapter.

Firstly, the circuit topology of a HiPIMS-type power supply (also called plasma source or generator) is shown in its simplest configuration in figure 2 .
