Research Abstract

With the demands for higher machining accuracy and higher productivity, high speed ultraprecision positioning technologies are increasingly required. Especially, requirements for the table system of semiconductor equipment, such as a step and scan exposure system, are not only good positioning stability but also nanometer order tracking accuracy.
In this research project, therefore, a high speed sub-nanometer positioning table system driven by a blushless DC linear motor and guided by an aerostatic bearing has been developed. As a result, the following available results could be obtained.
(1) Yawing error of 1.5murad at traveling length of 300mm
(2) Sub-nanometer order positioning resolution
(3) Settling time of 0.34s for a 60mm point-to-point motion with a positioning error of less than 5nm
(4) Tracking error (sigma) of 20nm at feed rate of 200mm/s
