A displacement measurement system for ultra-precision heterodyne Littrow grating interferometer
The ultra-precision displacement measurement was researched for the work table of a Scanning Beam Interference Lithography (SBIL) tool to improve its environmental robustness. For the displacement measuring requirement of the work table of the SBIL tool
a novel heterodyne Littrow Grating Interferometer (GI)displacement measurement system with high environmental robustness was proposed. The measuring principle of the heterodyne Littrow grating interferometer was introduced
and the design of the system and dead path error modeling method based on Elden equation was performed. An integrated mini grating interferometer with a size of 48 mm×48 mm×18 mm was fabricated. Then
the dead path error of the system was calculated based on the model. The calculation result indicates that the dead path error caused by a relative large environmental fluctuation (temperature fluctuation in ∓0.01℃
pressure fluctuation in ±7.5 Pa
humidity fluctuation in ∓1.5%
and CO
2
content fluctuation in ±50×10
-6
) is only ±0.05 nm. Finally
a comparison system based on the commercial plane mirror interferometer (PMI) and GI was designed for the principle verification and measurement stability experiment. The principle verification demonstrates that the principle of the system is right and the resolution reaches to 0.41 nm. The measurement stability experiment shows that the dead path error of GI and PMI caused by the environmental fluctuation are respectively 7.59 nm (3σ)@
<
0.9 Hz
&
1~10 Hz and 31.11 nm (3σ)@
<
0.9 Hz
&
1~10 Hz in a conventional laboratory environment
which indicates the environmental robustness of the GI is higher than that of the PMI.
