Abstract
We realized super fine positioning of the stage which is applied for the step and scan lithography apparatus using the following technologies. - Direct drive concept (not using "fine and coarse" stage configuration) - Newly developed air-bearing without moving tube for air supply. - Simple and light weight configuration - 3DOF (X Y Tz) counter-mass - Compensation of motor force ripple - Symmetry structure and driving at center of gravity
