Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this solution is that the long-stroke measuring device has a large dimension in the Y direction, which leads to a large Y-direction dimension of the workpiece table system. At the same time, this measurement scheme does not take into account how to Make the workpiece table return to the working zero position, and when the Y-direction motion control of the workpiece table fails, how to prevent the grating ruler reading head on the measuring bracket from colliding with the workpiece table and causing damage

Abstract

The present invention provides a two-workpiece table long travel measurement apparatus and a use method thereof, wherein the two-workpiece table long travel measurement apparatus is provided for real-timely controlling a position of a silicon wafer table or a mask table and other precision workpiece tables so as to carry out precise photoetching processing operation. The two-workpiece table long travel measurement apparatus comprises a coarse movement plane motor device, two guide rails, two long travel plane measurement devices and a control system. With the apparatus, the long travel plane measurement device can automatically move along a Y direction along with the workpiece table; and with the elastic buffer device in the long travel plane measurement device, when control of workpiece table long travel movement is subjected to failure, it can be ensured that the measurement sensor is not be damaged, the position signal of the workpiece table can be acquired and can be fed back to the control system of the apparatus to control the workpiece to reset back to the work zero position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor photolithography process, in particular to a long-stroke measuring device with a double-workpiece stage and a method for using the same. Background technique [0002] In semiconductor lithography equipment, the motion system of precision workpiece stages such as silicon wafer stage and mask stage is an extremely important key component. Its positioning accuracy directly affects the performance of lithography equipment, and its operating speed directly affects the production efficiency of lithography equipment. The main functions that the workpiece table system usually needs to complete are: material transmission, fast stepping, constant speed scanning, etc. The typical structural form of the existing precision workpiece table system is as follows: the entire workpiece table is composed of a coarse motion table and a micro motion table, among which the coarse motion table is composed of an X-Y workpiece table, wh...
