Moving coil magnetic-levitation wireless micro-motion-stage vector circular-arc exchange method and device based on herringbone coil arrangement

Abstract

The invention provides a moving coil magnetic-levitation wireless micro-motion-stage vector circular-arc exchange method and device based on herringbone coil arrangement and belongs to a semiconductor manufacturing equipment technology. The device comprises a supporting frame, a balance mass block, magnetic-levitation workpiece stages, workpiece stage measurement devices and workpiece stage driving devices, wherein the two workpiece stages work between a measurement position and an exposure position, the positions of the workpiece stages are measured by adopting a plane grating, the workpiece stages are driven by magnetic-levitation planar motors, the herringbone coil arrangement is adopted for planar motor active cells, the planar motors are adopted to drive the two workpiece stages to achieve quick single-beat arc stage exchange in the double-workpiece-stage exchange process, and the workpiece stages are powered by wireless signal transmission and charging modules and get rid of constraint of cable stages. The problems of large beat number, long trajectories, multiple start-stop links, long stabilization time and the like of an existing stage exchange scheme are solved, stage exchange links are decreased, the stage exchange time is shortened, and the productive rate of a photo-etching machine is improved.

Problems solved by technology

However, the transposition of the workpiece table by rotating the entire base has problems such as large moment of inertia, difficulty in precise positioning of high-power rotary motors, and high heat generation that cause system temperature rise. At the same time, the radius of gyration is large, which significantly increases the structure of the main body of the lithography machine.

Chinese patent CN102495528 adopts a rotary transfer table in the center of the abutment to complete the exchange of double workpiece tables. The table change is divided into three beats, which improves the efficiency of the...
