Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] It relates to the fields of semiconductor manufacturing and biotechnology, and specifically to a three-degree-of-freedom macro-micro composite piezoelectric nanoprobe station. Background Art
[0002] The probe station is one of the most important precision detection equipment in the fields of semiconductor manufacturing and biotechnology. At present, with the development of semiconductor chip manufacturing technology, the size of chips has gradually shrunk from 10 microns to 3 nanometers, and the demand for chip detection has also shifted from two-dimensional detection to three-dimensional detection. In addition, application scenarios such as micro-nano processing and cell manipulation in biotechnology have put forward higher requirements for high-precision positioning and stable operation. Most of the existing probe stations are driven by servo motors or motors. Although these traditional drive methods can provide a certain degree of movement accuracy, they have obvious limitations in achieving nanometer-level precision positioning control, especially in the coordinated control between macro and micro drive systems. It is difficult to take into account both accuracy and stability.
[0003] For example, when the traditional servo motor-driven probe station is used for micro-nano-scale detection, due to the complex structure and large size of the motor, its inertia and response speed cannot meet the high-precision operation requirements at the nanometer level. In addition, the coupling problem between the macro-motion and micro-motion systems is also difficult to solve, resulting in low efficiency of the probe station when performing large-scale movement and fine positioning, and unable to meet the requirements of modern high-precision manufacturing and detection.
[0004] Current research focuses on how to improve the positioning accuracy, response speed and energy consumption of the probe station, such as by improving the control algorithm, optimizing the servo system, and introducing new materials in the structural design to improve the performance of the probe station. However, when facing the high-precision positioning requirements across scales (from millimeters to nanometers), the existing technology still has the following technical difficulties:
[0005] 1. The coordinated control of macro-micro composite drive is difficult: the coupling problem between the macro drive and micro drive system is difficult to solve, which easily leads to loss of accuracy.
[0006] 2. It is difficult to strike a balance between positioning accuracy and stability: Existing probe stations are difficult to maintain high-precision stable control when moving at high speeds, especially when performing three-dimensional detection of tiny objects.
[0007] 3. Complex structure and high energy consumption: The traditional motor drive structure is complex, resulting in large equipment size and high energy consumption, which is not conducive to energy saving and miniaturization of equipment. Summary of the invention
[0008] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the difficulty in coordinated control of the existing motor-driven probe station, the difficulty in balancing positioning accuracy and stability, the complex structure and high energy consumption, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0022] The step of obtaining a rapid positioning signal of the carried object according to the signal of the XY macro-motion mechanism;
[0023] The step of obtaining a precise positioning signal of the carried object according to the signal of the XY micro-motion mechanism;
[0024] The step of sending a vertical position adjustment signal according to the precise positioning signal.
[0025] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a computer storage medium for storing a computer program. When the computer program is read by a computer, the computer executes the method described.
[0026] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a computer, including a processor and a storage medium. When the processor reads a computer program stored in the storage medium, the computer executes the method described.
[0027] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a computer program product, which is a computer program. When the computer program is executed, the method described above is implemented.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention is beneficial in that:
[0029] Piezoelectric drive technology achieves nanometer-level high-precision positioning through the expansion and contraction of piezoelectric ceramics. This method significantly improves the lifting and lowering control accuracy in the Z-axis direction, solving the problem of large inertia and slow response speed of traditional servo motors, thereby achieving high-precision operation in three-dimensional detection of tiny objects. Compared with traditional servo motor systems, this shows higher stability and accuracy.
[0030] Through the macro-micro composite drive design, the present invention successfully realizes the combination of large-scale rapid movement and local fine adjustment. The XY macro-motion mechanism provides a rapid movement capability of tens of millimeters, while the XY integrated micro-motion mechanism realizes fine movement of a few nanometers to tens of nanometers. This design effectively solves the coupling problem between the macro-micro drive system, allowing large-scale movement and high-precision positioning to be achieved simultaneously, significantly improving the working efficiency and operational convenience of the equipment.
[0031] The integrated design of the Z mechanism housing and the piezoelectric ceramics makes the overall structure compact and enhances the seismic resistance and stability of the device. By embedding the piezoelectric ceramics into the overall structure, the vibration and precision loss caused by the separation of components in traditional equipment are reduced, thereby ensuring the reliability of the equipment in high-precision operation. Compared with other studies that increase stability by adding support structures, the design of the present invention is more concise and efficient.
[0032] The low energy consumption of piezoelectric drive significantly reduces the energy consumption of the device compared to the traditional motor drive. This feature enables the present invention to have a better energy-saving effect in long-term use, and because the heat generated by the device is reduced, the operating stability and life of the overall system are improved. This point reflects better environmental friendliness and economy in comparison with the existing motor-driven probe station.
