Abstract:The characteristics of an electrostatically actuated comb-drive microgripp er were tested with its information and status acquired using the t est platfor m of Microscope-CCD-micro-computer. The voltage-d isplacement characteristic was obtained through image processing and analysis. The analysis of the characteristic equation deduced from miscellaneous factors indicates that the theoretical design is rational and consistent with the experimental results. The differenc e between theoretical design and practical device is discussed with the desig n rule, fabrication and experiment process taken into consideration. The causati on demonstrates that present theoretical design and fabrication technology need further improvement to meet the design requirements for micro-electromechanical devices.
Abstract:Fabrication of nanostructures is an important part of nanotechnology,and atom li thography technology is a new nanostructure fabrication method. A me tastable a rgon atomic beam generated by high-voltage discharge is collimated to minimize t he divergence angle of atomic beam.Metastable atoms are quenched when well-c ollimated beam travels through the light standing wave perpendicular to the prop agation direction of the atomic beam,and then deposited onto the substrate. SAM abso rbed on substrate surface is damaged by metastable atoms,and the nanometer-scale structure can be fabricated with etching technologies. The basic principle,expe rimental schemes,correlative theory of this technique and simulation results are given.

Abstract:We have been developing new fabrication tools based on optical radiation pressur e and related phenomena to develop aflexible and accurate microfabrication tec hnology. In this paper, the laser trapping probe for the nano-CMM for assessment , in addition to micromachining technique using a small particle controlled by optical radiation pressure and laser aggregation technique are discussed. As the positional detection probe for the nano-CMM, an optically trapped silica particle with 8 mm diameter in forced oscillation state is used. A probe sphere retains a stable position when applied with trapping force by Nd:YAG laser light formed an nu lar and is forced to oscillate by the driving force changed by modulating the in tensity of LD emission. Experintal results show that this vibrational microprobe h as the possibility to achieve positional sensing accuracy of less than 25 nm. As a new micromachining technique, nano-removal process using an optically trapped micro-grain is proposed. The laser trapping force enables not only to stably trap the diamond grain with asymmetrical shape but also to freely control the positi on with spinning. Using this micro machining tool, the machining experiments of h ydrocarbon film are performed. AFM observation confirmed that the fine groove wi th depths of about 3~4 nm can be fabricated. As an additive process based on ra diation pressure, a laser microstructure fabrication using laser agglomeration p h enomena of colloidal particles aided by radiation pressure is investigated. By c ontrolling laser beam scanning in slurry containing KOH solution and SiO2 par ticles with a diameter of 140 nm, colloidal particles are aggregated and adhered firmly to a silicon wafer substrate. Using this laser agglomerating process, two-dimensional grid microstructures at the pitch of 5 mm can be fabricated.

Abstract:A new method to measure the conductivity of conducting thin films in a contactle s s fashion was demonstrated. A microwave compact equipment working at 94 GHz was used to measure the amplitude of the reflection coefficient of the microwave sig na l. Indium Tin Oxide films having conductivity of 8.20×104~8.02×105 S/m on the glass substrates were used as the samples. An evaluation equation was bui lt to determine the conductivity from the measured amplitude of the reflection c oefficient. The evaluated conductivity of conducting thin films agrees well with their actual value.
Abstract:The stringent surface figure requirements for the multilayer-c oated elements in an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) projection lithography system mak es it desirable to minimize the deformation resulting from multiplayer film stress es. However, the stress must be reduced or compensated without decreasing EUV refl ectivity because the reflectivity has a strong impact on the throughput of an EUV lithog raphy tool. Several stress reduction and compensation techniques applicable to Mo/Si multilayer coatings, and several stress measurem ent methods are discussed in detail.

Abstract:Optics or diffraction is usually used for wave front error correction of high po wer solid laser facility. But there are still some diff iculties in applying these technologies in practice. The use of a small lap top comput er contro lled optical finishing (CCOF) for correcting the wave front error of a large ape rtur e high power solid laser facility provides a new solution to this problem. The experimental result showed that the wave front error decreased from PV 4.59 λ(λ=632.8 nm) RMS 0.938 λ to PV 0.43 λ RMS 0.075 λ and it is passible to use CCOF for wave front error correction.

Experimental results show that the minimum stable speed with adaptive control is 0.002 4°/s, and the tracking error peak-peak value is 0.695″; when the minimum stable speed with PID compensation is 0.029 6°/s, the tracking error peak-peak value is 1.281 5″.
Abstract:Two main problems of heterodyne interferometer, lateral resolution of interferometer, and the nonli near errors and its compensation, are discussed by first introducing a new analy tical method to ac hieve positioning accuracy of sub-micron and then establishing a mathematical mo del o f the relationship between the measurement phase and the amplitude distribution of laser beam to explain the gradual change of the measu rement phase around the sharp step. The amplitude distribution of laser beam at the step can be got and the lateral positioning accuracy can be achieved to the magn itude of submicron by using the estimation method used for ordinary laser beam. The results of analysis of the three major nonlinear error sources of the common -path interferom eter show that the error caused by Wollaston prism is mainly second harmonic and the error caused by elliptical polarization of laser is firs t harmo nic. Further analysis indicates that the misorientation of metal mirror can ca use the two r eflecting beams to change from linear polarized beams into elliptical polarized bea ms with nonorthoganal and nonequal eccentricity, which can generate mainly the f i rst harmonic nonlinear error. In additions, error compensation methods are also proposed to improve the accuracy of the interferometer.
