Aiming at the high precision and efficiency requirements of Z-direction locating in Talbot lithography, a control system based on Voice Coil Motor (VCM) was designed. In this paper, we built a math model of VCM and its moving characteristic was analyzed. A double-closed loop control strategy including position loop and current loop were accomplished. The current loop was implemented by driver, in order to achieve the rapid follow of the system current. The position loop was completed by the digital signal processor (DSP) and the position feedback was achieved by high precision linear scales. Feed forward control and position feedback Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID) control were applied in order to compensate for dynamic lag and improve the response speed of the system. And the high precision and efficiency of the system were verified by simulation and experiments. The results demonstrated that the performance of Z-direction gantry was obviously improved, having high precision, quick responses, strong real-time and easily to expend for higher precision.
White-light scanning interferometry plays an important role in precise profile metrology of microstructure. However, applying this approach may also be limited because of the optical reflection behavior of the surface. While there is a thin film on the surface, the reflection behavior of top and bottom of the thin-film will cause severer phase errors. Recently, the method by combining both reflectometry and white-light scanning interferometry is proposed to measure the film thickness and surface profile. This article firstly explains the principle of the proposed method and then verifies the feasibility of the thickness-measurement method for transparent film on a Silicon surface. Both of the algorithm and the experiment system have been optimized to measure the film thickness with high precision.
