Riber ACE 1010 E-Gun Power Supply Alimentation de Canon 220V Electron Gun MBE

Riber ACE 1010 E-Gun Power Supply Alimentation de Canon 220V Electron Gun MBE

The Riber ACE 1010 is a dedicated electron gun (e-beam) power supply — referred to in French as "Alimentation de Canon" — manufactured by ISA Riber of Rueil, France. It provides the high-voltage and control functions required to drive an electron beam evaporation source in a vacuum deposition system. The front panel features an Analogic LED digital meter that displays key operating parameters, with selectable measurement modes for anode voltage, emission current, and filament parameters, along with X/Y deflection controls and high-voltage adjustment.

Applications

The Riber ACE 1010 is the dedicated power supply and control unit for Riber electron beam evaporation sources used in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems. In these systems, an electron beam gun — the "canon" — is used to heat and evaporate source materials at high vacuum, depositing thin films of metals, oxides, or semiconductors onto substrates. The ACE 1010 supplies and regulates the high voltage to the anode, the filament heating current, the beam deflection voltages, and the emission current, while providing real-time parameter readout. Riber is a French company with a long history in MBE system design and manufacture, and their ACE-series power supplies were standard equipment on Riber MBE and e-beam evaporation platforms from the 1980s through the 1990s. These units are typically found in university research labs, national research institutes, and compound semiconductor foundries running legacy Riber MBE systems. Replacement and spare ACE 1010 units are actively sought by facilities maintaining Riber MBE equipment, as these proprietary controllers are no longer in production.
