This improvement in accuracy can not only improve the design rule size of the chip, but also further improve the yield and reduce production costs. The structure of the workpiece stage is usually composed of a coarse motion stage and a fine motion stage. The coarse motion stage is mainly responsible for rapid movement within a larger range to meet the needs of global positioning, while the fine motion stage is responsible for extremely high-precision small-range movement to compensate for small errors and achieve nanometer-level precise adjustment. Therefore, the position measurement system of the fine motion stage requires not only accuracy, but also rapid response, stability and anti-interference capabilities during high-speed movement of the fine motion stage.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings in the present application are only for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the schematic drawings are not drawn in actual proportions.

In addition, those skilled in the art can add one or more other operations to the flowchart or remove one or more operations from the flowchart under the guidance of the content of the present application.

[0035] In addition, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and illustrated in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application claimed, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] The prior art proposes a method of arranging a ring-shaped distribution of targets (including vertical and horizontal directions) on the stator of the control motor corresponding to the microstage, and configuring corresponding position sensors on the stator, and realizing the position detection of the microstage through the combination of the targets and the sensors. However, the measurement accuracy of this method is limited by the accuracy of the position sensors, and at the same time, the suppression effect on complex environmental interference is limited, and the ring-shaped layout design has high requirements for installation accuracy, increasing the complexity of system integration.

[0037] In recent years, the measurement method based on optical sensors has been widely used due to its non-contact, high-precision and fast response characteristics. This method utilizes the high-resolution characteristics of the optical system and combines signal processing technology to achieve precise displacement detection. For example, Patent 201810399665.2 proposes a multi-beam synchronous two-dimensional position detection method based on PSD (Position Sensitive Detector), which uses a double heterodyne asynchronous demodulation algorithm to demodulate a mixed signal with multiple frequencies superimposed and restore it to the two-dimensional position of the light spot. However, this technical solution requires precise frequency control and complex hardware support, and the cost and complexity of the system are relatively high. In addition, light intensity attenuation may cause difficulty in signal extraction, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy.

[0038] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a microstage position measurement system. The present application reduces the integration complexity of such a microstage position measurement system by integrally connecting a light source module and a position measurement module, and determines the position of the microstage based on the detection data of different microstage position detection devices, improving the accuracy, specifically as follows:

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows the overall structural schematic diagram of a microstage position measurement system provided by the embodiments of the present application. Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows the overall structural schematic diagram of a microstage position detection device provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the microstage position measurement system provided by the present application includes a plurality of microstage position detection devices 1, a position calculation module 2, and an analog-to-digital conversion module 3. Each microstage position detection device 1 includes a light source module 11 and a position measurement module 12 arranged opposite to each other. The light source module 11 is connected to the position detection module through its corresponding flexible circuit board 13. The light source module 11 of each microstage position detection device 1 is installed at different given positions of the microstage, and the position measurement module 12 of each microstage position detection device 1 is installed on the coarse stage. The flexible circuit board 13 of the present application is pre-customized and can realize the electrical connection between the light source module 11 and the position detection module.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, for each microstage position detection device 1: The light source module 11 generates an annular Gaussian beam and irradiates it onto the position measurement module 12. The position measurement module 12 generates a corresponding photocurrent signal in response to the received annular Gaussian beam, performs voltage conversion processing on the photocurrent signal to obtain voltage data, and sends the voltage data to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3. The analog-to-digital conversion module 3 processes the voltage data output by each microstage position detection device 1 and then sends it to the position calculation module 2. The position calculation module 2 determines the position information of the microstage relative to the coarse stage based on the processed voltage data corresponding to each microstage position detection device 1.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the light source module 11 includes a light source and a collimating lens (not shown in the figure). The light source can be a light-emitting diode, such as Figure 2 As shown, the position measurement module 12 includes a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 and a board unit 121 connected to each other. For each microstage position detection device 1, the light source module 11 is connected to the board unit 121 through its corresponding flexible circuit board 13. The board unit 121 is installed on the coarse stage. The light source module 11 and the corresponding two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 are arranged opposite to each other. The two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is a two-dimensional PSD (Position Sensitive Detector), and the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is fixed to the board unit 121.

[0042] In the present application, to avoid the influence of ambient light, a light-shielding cover is installed on the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 to shield most of the ambient light, and as much as possible, the annular Gaussian beam emitted by the light source module 11 is irradiated within the effective detection area of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120.

[0043] The board unit 121 drives the light source in the corresponding light source module 11 and the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector provided by an embodiment of the present application. Please refer toFigure 4 , Figure 4 shows the schematic diagram of a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is successively divided into a P layer, an I layer, and an N layer from top to bottom. Among them, the corresponding output electrodes are respectively led out at the positions of the four center points on the upper surface of the P layer of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120. Taking the Figure 3 shown coordinate system as an example, the output electrodes x1 and x2 are arranged oppositely in the horizontal x direction, and the output electrodes y1 and y2 are arranged oppositely in the y direction perpendicular to the horizontal x direction. The common electrode COM is led out from the N layer of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120. In the present application, the upper and lower surfaces of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 are both square.

[0045] In the present application, the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is placed vertically. Therefore, the horizontal x direction of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is consistent with the spatial horizontal X direction, and the corresponding y direction of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is consistent with the spatial vertical Z direction.

[0046] As Figure 4 shown, after the light emitted by the light source becomes an annular Gaussian beam Light through the collimating lens, it is incident into the corresponding effective detection area of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120, and an incident light spot is formed in the effective detection area. Due to the existence of the transverse electromotive force, charges proportional to the light intensity are generated at the positions corresponding to the incident light spot. These charges flow through the resistance layer on the surface of the P layer in the form of photocurrent, and the photocurrent is shunted according to the distance from the incident light spot to the output electrode. The photocurrent output by the output electrode is inversely proportional to the distance between the incident light spot position and each output electrode. In fact, by calculating the ratio of the output currents corresponding to each output electrode, the two-dimensional position information corresponding to the incident light spot can be accurately determined.

[0047] Specifically, when the center of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is taken as the origin, there is:

[0048]

[0049] In formulas (1) to (4), I x1 represents the output current corresponding to the output electrode x1, I x2 represents the output current corresponding to the output electrode x2, I Ox represents the total photocurrent generated by the incident light spot in the horizontal x direction (I x1 +I x2 ), I Oy represents the total photocurrent generated by the incident light spot in the y direction (I y1 +I y2 ), L xRepresents the horizontal length of the effective area corresponding to the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120, L y Represents the vertical length of the effective area corresponding to the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120, X m Represents the horizontal distance from the center position of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 to the position of the incident light spot, Y m Represents the vertical distance from the center position of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 to the position of the incident light spot.

[0050] It can be known from formulas (1) to (4):

[0051]

[0052] The effective detection area corresponding to the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 applied in this application adopts a square, that is, there is:

[0053] L x = L y (7)

[0054] The incident light beam in this application has an annular Gaussian distribution, and P-type resistance layers are adopted on the upper and lower surfaces of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 in this application. According to the PSD principle, the total photocurrent generated by the incident light spot in the horizontal x direction is equal to the total photocurrent generated by the incident light spot in the y direction, that is:

[0055] I Ox = I Oy (8)

[0056] Let I Ox = I Oy = I O , then there is:

[0057]

[0058] That is to say, it can be known from the above formulas (9) to (10) that when the total current I O generated by the incident light spot is determined, the distance X m , Y m between the position of the incident light spot and the center point of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 is linearly related and has nothing to do with the intensity of the incident light.

[0059] It can be known from the above formulas (8) to (9) that by obtaining I x2 - I x1 , I y2 - I y1 and I O , the distance X m , Y m between the incident light spot and the center point of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 can be obtained.

[0060] In this application, since the currents output by each output electrode of the PSD are not easily directly collected, and collecting the photocurrent signal requires costly devices, which will increase the cost of the entire system. For the convenience of subsequent calculation and processing and to reduce the system cost, it is necessary to convert I x2 -I x1 、I y2 -I y1 、I O into a voltage form that is easier to process, so as to complete the calculation and processing of the distance X m 、Y m between the incident light spot and the center point of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, for the fine stage position detection device 1:

[0062] The two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 responds to the incident annular Gaussian beam, generates corresponding photocurrent signals at each output electrode and outputs them to the board unit 121. The board unit 121 performs voltage conversion processing on the photocurrent signals generated by each output electrode, obtains the voltage data corresponding to the fine stage position detection device 1 and sends it to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3. The analog-to-digital conversion module performs analog-to-digital conversion processing on the voltage data, obtains the target voltage data and inputs it to the position calculation module 2. The position calculation module 2 determines the position information of the fine stage relative to the coarse stage based on the target voltage data corresponding to each fine stage position detection device.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a board unit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the board unit 121 includes a transimpedance amplification component 1210, a differential amplification component 1211 and a voltage summation component 1212. Among them, the output electrodes include two output cathodes x1 and x2 oppositely arranged in the horizontal direction x of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 and two output anodes y1 and y2 oppositely arranged in the vertical direction y. The voltage data includes the horizontal differential voltage corresponding to the two output cathodes x1 and x2, the vertical differential voltage corresponding to the two output anodes y1 and y2, and the target debiasing voltage. The target debiasing voltage is the debiased horizontal differential voltage output by the two output cathodes x1 and x2 or the debiased vertical differential voltage output by the two output anodes y1 and y2.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, for each fine stage position detection device 1:

[0065] The transimpedance amplification component 1210 receives photocurrent signals from the respective output electrodes (including two output cathodes x1 and x2 and two output anodes y1 and y2) on the corresponding two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120, and after processing, converts them into voltage processing signals corresponding to each output electrode and inputs them into the corresponding differential amplification component 1211. Specifically, the voltage processing signals include the voltage processing signal V x1a corresponding to the output cathode x1, the voltage processing signal V x2a corresponding to the output cathode x2, the voltage processing signal V y1a corresponding to the output anode y1, and the voltage processing signal V y2a .

[0066] The transimpedance amplification component 1210 inputs the voltage processing signals corresponding to the two output cathodes x1 and x2 or the voltage processing signals corresponding to the two output anodes y1 and y2 into the corresponding voltage summation component 1212. As shown in Figure 5 , only the case where the voltage processing signals corresponding to the two output cathodes x1 and x2 are input into the voltage summation component 1212 is shown.

[0067] Based on the voltage processing signals corresponding to each output electrode, the differential amplification component 1211 respectively outputs the horizontal differential voltages V xN and V xP corresponding to the two output cathodes, and the vertical differential voltages V yN and V yP corresponding to the two output anodes to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3.

[0068] Based on the voltage processing signals corresponding to the two output cathodes x1 and x2 or the voltage processing signals corresponding to the two output anodes y1 and y2, the voltage summation component 1212 outputs the target debiased voltages V Sum_pure_P and V sum_pure_N to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3.

[0069] After performing analog-to-digital conversion processing on the horizontal differential voltage, vertical differential voltage, and target debiased voltage, the analog-to-digital conversion module 3 outputs the horizontal processing voltage V xF , the vertical processing voltage V yF , and the debiased summation voltage V sum_pure to the position calculation module 2.

[0070] For each micro-stage position detection device, the position calculation module 2: Based on the horizontal processing voltage V xF , the vertical processing voltage V yF , and the debiased summation voltage V sum_pure , determines the two-dimensional position information X m and Y m of the incident light spot generated by the light source module on the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector relative to the macro-stage.

[0071] The position calculation module 2, based on the two-dimensional position information X m and Y m , after being solved by the position measurement and calculation matrix, obtains the position information of the micro stage relative to the coarse stage.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which shows a schematic structural diagram of a transimpedance amplification component provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the transimpedance amplification component 1210 includes a transimpedance amplification circuit corresponding to each output electrode. Specifically, it includes a first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A1 and 1210-A2 respectively connected to two output cathodes x1 and x2, and a second transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-B1 and 1210-B2 connected to two output anodes y1 and y2. The common-mode voltage includes a first common-mode voltage and a second common-mode voltage.

[0073] For the first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A1 corresponding to the output cathode x1, its first connection end is connected to the output cathode x1, its second connection end is connected to a given single power supply VCC, its third connection end is used as the output end of the first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A1 and is connected to the differential amplification component 1211, and its fourth connection end is connected to the first common-mode voltage V refh , and the output end of the first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A1 outputs the voltage processing signal V x1a corresponding to x1.

[0074] The connection method of the first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A2 corresponding to the output cathode x2 is similar to that of the first transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A1 corresponding to the output cathode x1, and will not be elaborated here. The output end of the second transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-A2 is used to output the voltage processing signal V x2a corresponding to x2.

[0075] For the second transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-B1 corresponding to the output anode y1, its first connection end is connected to the output anode y1, its second connection end is grounded, its third connection end is used as the output end of the second transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-B1 and is connected to the differential amplification component 1211, and its fourth connection end is connected to the second common-mode voltage V refl , and the output end of the second transimpedance amplification circuit 1210-B1 is used to output the voltage processing signal V y1a corresponding to y1.

[0076] The connection method of the second transimpedance amplifier circuit 1210-B2 corresponding to the output anode y2 is similar to that of the second transimpedance amplifier circuit 1210-B1 corresponding to the output anode y1, and will not be elaborated here. The output end of the second transimpedance amplifier circuit 1210-B2 is used to output the voltage processing signal V corresponding to y2 y2a 。

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the transimpedance amplifier circuit includes a current-to-voltage structure and a bias current compensation structure. Among them, for the transimpedance amplifier circuit: if the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the output cathode, one end of the bias current compensation structure is connected to a given single power supply; if the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the output anode, one end of the bias current compensation structure is grounded

[0078] The other end of the bias current compensation structure is respectively connected to the inverting input end of the current-to-voltage structure and the output electrode corresponding to the two-dimensional position sensitive detector 120. The non-inverting input end of the current-to-voltage structure is connected to the corresponding common-mode voltage output end, and the output end of the current-to-voltage structure is connected to the differential amplification component as the output end of the transimpedance amplifier circuit

[0079] Preferably, if the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the output cathode, the non-inverting input end of the current-to-voltage structure corresponding to the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the first common-mode voltage V refh ; if the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the output anode, the non-inverting input end of the current-to-voltage structure corresponding to the transimpedance amplifier circuit is connected to the second common-mode voltage V refl 。

[0080] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which shows a schematic structural diagram of a transimpedance amplifier circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the current-to-voltage structure includes a first operational amplifier U1, a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, and a second resistor R2. The bias current compensation structure includes a third resistor R3. The first resistor R1 is the feedback resistor of the first operational amplifier U1. The first operational amplifier U1 is a transimpedance amplifier, and the third resistor R3 is a bias resistor for generating a bias current

[0081] For the first transimpedance amplifier circuit, one end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the given single power supply VCC, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is respectively connected to one end of the first capacitor C1, one end of the first resistor R1, the inverting input end of the first operational amplifier U1, and the output cathode corresponding to the first transimpedance amplifier circuit. The other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the other end of the first resistor R1 and then connected to the output end of the first operational amplifier U1. The positive power input end of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the given single power supply VCC through the second resistor R2. The negative power input end of the first operational amplifier U1 is grounded to GND. The non-inverting input end of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the first common-mode voltage V corresponding to the output electroderefh 。

[0082] For the second transimpedance amplifier circuit, one end of the third resistor R3 is grounded to GND, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is respectively connected to one end of the first capacitor C1, one end of the first resistor R1, the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1, and the output anode corresponding to the second transimpedance amplifier circuit. The other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the other end of the first resistor R1 and then connected to the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1. The positive power supply input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the given single power supply VCC through the second resistor R2, the negative power supply input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is grounded, and the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the second common-mode voltage V refl 。

[0083] In this application, the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 requires at least a 5V bias voltage during operation. To meet the normal operating requirements of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120 and reduce the impact on the temperature of the workbench, the transimpedance amplifier circuit in this application is powered by the given single power supply VCC. The given single power supply VCC can be selected as 8V. Powering with the given single power supply VCC not only reduces the overall power consumption of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector 120, but also simplifies the circuit design, further reducing the volume of the device.

[0084] However, powering with the given single power supply VCC has a certain impact on the signal processing margin of the circuit. To prevent the output of the first operational amplifier U1 from reaching the limit of the given single power supply VCC, a bias current is added to the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 by introducing the third resistor R3.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, assuming that the resistance value of the first resistor R1 is 37.5 kΩ (kiloohm), the resistance value of the third resistor R3 is 7.5 kΩ, the resistance value of the second resistor R2 is 10R, and the given single power supply VCC = 8V, taking one of the first transimpedance amplifier circuits connected to the output cathode x1 as an example:

[0086] Assume that the output voltage V corresponding to the first common-mode voltage output terminal refh = 6.5V. Then, the voltage drop across the third resistor R3 at this time = 8V - 6.5V = 1.5V. Finally, the bias current at the inverting input terminal corresponding to the first operational amplifier U1 is approximately 200 μA (microampere). At this time, when there is no photocurrent output at the output cathode x1, the voltage processing signal V x1a output by this first transimpedance amplifier circuit is:

[0087] V x1a (I x1 = 0A) = 6.5V - (200 μA × R1) = 0.5V (11)

[0088] Similarly, based on another first transimpedance amplifier circuit connected to the output cathode x2, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to the output cathode x2 output by the transimpedance amplifier component can be obtained as follows: x2a is:

[0089] V x2a (I x2 = 0 A) = V x1a (I x1 = 0 A) = 0.5 V(12)

[0090] At this time, the output of the transimpedance amplifier in the first transimpedance amplifier circuit is avoided from being affected by the power supply voltage clipping. The voltage processing signals V corresponding to the two output cathodes x1 and x2 x1a and V x2a are input to the differential amplifier component.

[0091] Taking one of the second transimpedance amplifier circuits connected to the output anode y1 as an example:

[0092] Since the first operational amplifier U1 connected to the output anode needs to absorb the photocurrent, as the photocurrent increases, the output voltage decreases. Therefore, assuming that the output voltage V corresponding to the second common-mode voltage output terminal refl = 1.5 V, the voltage drop across the third resistor R3 at this time is 1.5 V, and the bias current is about 200 μA. At this time, when there is no photocurrent output from the output anode y1, the voltage processing signal V output by this second transimpedance amplifier circuit y1a is:

[0093] V y1a (I y1 = 0 A) = 1.5 V + (200 μA × R1) = 7.5 V(13)

[0094] The second transimpedance amplifier circuits corresponding to the two output anodes are designed identically. Therefore, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to the output cathode y2 is obtained as follows: y2a is:

[0095] V y2a (I y2 = 0 A) = V y1a (I y1 = 0 A) = 7.5 V(14)

[0096] Through the above transimpedance amplifier circuit design, the outputs of the transimpedance amplifiers in the transimpedance amplifier circuit all have sufficient margins, significantly optimizing the dynamic range of the transimpedance amplifier and improving the linearity and signal-to-noise ratio.

[0097] In a preferred embodiment, the first common-mode voltage V refh and the second common-mode voltage V refl in this application are provided by a common-mode voltage generation circuit.

[0098] The board unit 121 further includes a common-mode voltage generation circuit 1213, and the common-mode voltage generation circuit includes a first common-mode voltage division structure, a second common-mode voltage division structure, a third common-mode voltage division structure, a fourth common-mode voltage division structure, and a fifth common-mode voltage division structure.

[0099] Specifically, one end of the first common-mode voltage division structure is connected to one end of the second common-mode voltage division structure and serves as the first common-mode power supply output terminal. The other end of the second common-mode voltage division structure is respectively connected to one end of the third common-mode voltage division structure and the ground. The other end of the third common-mode voltage division structure is connected to one end of the fourth common-mode voltage division structure and serves as the second common-mode power supply output terminal. The other end of the fourth common-mode voltage division structure is connected to one end of the fifth common-mode voltage division structure and serves as the third common-mode power supply output terminal. The other end of the fifth common-mode voltage division structure is connected to the other end of the first common-mode voltage division structure and then connected to a given single power supply.

[0100] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 which shows a schematic structural diagram of a common-mode voltage generation circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 8 shown, the first common-mode voltage division structure selects the first common-mode voltage division resistor Rh1, the second common-mode voltage division structure selects the second common-mode voltage division resistor Rh2, the third common-mode voltage division structure selects the third common-mode voltage division resistor Rh3, the fourth common-mode voltage division structure selects the first common-mode voltage division resistor Rh4, the fifth common-mode voltage division structure selects the first common-mode voltage division resistor Rh5, and the common-mode voltage generation circuit further includes a third capacitor C3 and a fourth capacitor C4.

[0101] Specifically, one end of the first common-mode voltage division resistor Rh1 is connected to one end of the second common-mode voltage division resistor Rh2 and serves as the first common-mode power supply output terminal to output the first common-mode voltage V refh , the other end of the second common-mode voltage division resistor Rh2 is respectively connected to one end of the third common-mode voltage division resistor Rh3 and the ground GND. The other end of the third common-mode voltage division resistor Rh3 is connected to one end of the fourth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh4 and serves as the second common-mode power supply output terminal to output the first common-mode voltage V refl , the other end of the fourth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh4 is connected to one end of the fifth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh5 and serves as the third common-mode power supply output terminal to output the third common-mode voltage V refm , and the other end of the fifth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh5 is connected to the other end of the first common-mode voltage division resistor Rh1 and then connected to a given single power supply VCC.

[0102] One end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to one end of the fifth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh5, the other end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded GND, one end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to one end of the fourth common-mode voltage division resistor Rh4, and the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded GND.

[0103] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the first common-mode voltage V refh is divided by the first common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh1 and the second common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh2. Specifically:

[0104]

[0105] Among them, the first common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh1 can be selected as 10 kΩ, and the second common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh2 can be selected as 44.4 kΩ.

[0106] The second common-mode voltage V refl is divided by the third common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh3, the fourth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh4, and the fifth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh5. Specifically:

[0107]

[0108] The third common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh3 can be selected as 14.7 kΩ, and the fourth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh4 can be selected as 10 kΩ.

[0109] The third common-mode voltage V refm is divided by the third common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh3, the fourth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh4, and the fifth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh5. Specifically:

[0110]

[0111] The fifth common-mode voltage-dividing resistor Rh5 can be selected as 53.6 kΩ.

[0112] The devices selected for the two transimpedance amplifier circuits connected to the output cathode are the same, and the devices selected for the two transimpedance amplifier circuits connected to the output anode are the same. In a special embodiment of the present application, the component specifications selected for all the transimpedance amplifier circuits connected to different output electrodes are exactly the same. Therefore, from Figure 7 it can be known that:

[0113]

[0114] It can be known from Equation (18) to Equation (19) that after passing through the transimpedance amplification component, the voltage difference V Δx between the cathode output terminals x1 and x2 is:

[0115] V Δx = V x1a - V x2a = (I x1 - I x2 ) × R1(22)

[0116] According to Equation (8), Equation (15), Equation (18), and Equation (19), there is:

[0117]

[0118] In formula (23), V sum represents the sum voltage between the voltage processing signal V x1a output by the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to the output cathode x1 and the voltage processing signal V x2a output by the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to the output cathode x2.

[0119] As can be seen from formulas (20) to (21), after passing through the transimpedance amplification component, the voltage difference V Δy between the anode output terminals y1 and y2 is:

[0120] V Δy = V y1a - V y2a = (I y1 - I y2 ) × R1 (24)

[0121] As can be seen from formulas (22) and (24), the output voltage difference corresponding to the horizontal output electrodes x1 and x2 has nothing to do with the first common-mode voltage V refh , and is only related to the photocurrent difference (I x1 - I x2 ) between the horizontal output electrodes x1 and x2 and the feedback resistor R1. Similarly, the output voltage difference corresponding to the vertical output electrodes y1 and y2 has nothing to do with the second common-mode voltage V refl , and is only related to the photocurrent difference (I y1 - I y2 ) between the vertical output electrodes y1 and y2 and the feedback resistor R1. Therefore, the setting of the bias voltage in the transimpedance amplifier circuit does not affect the position detection of the incident light spot.

[0122] In this application, for the voltage subtraction corresponding to formulas (22) and (24), as Figure 5 shown, it is implemented by the differential amplification component 1211. To further improve the anti-interference ability and ensure high signal fidelity in the single-power-supply scheme, the "virtual ground" is removed, and the differential amplification component 1211 is used to convert the voltage processing signal output by the transimpedance amplification component into a "differential signal" respectively.

[0123] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 which shows a schematic structural diagram of a differential amplification component provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 9 shown, the differential amplification component includes a cathode differential amplification circuit 1211-A and an anode differential amplification circuit 1211-B.

[0124] Among them, the first input terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit 1211-B is connected to the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to one of the output anodes y1 of the two-dimensional position sensitive detector, that is, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to one of the output anodes y1 is accessed. y1a The second input terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit 1211-B is connected to the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to the other input anode y2 of the two-dimensional position sensitive detector, that is, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to the other output anode y2 is accessed. y2a The common-mode voltage input terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit is connected to the third common-mode voltage output terminal. The positive differential output terminal and the negative differential output terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit 1211-B are respectively connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3. The positive differential output terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit 1211-B outputs the vertical differential voltage V yP The negative differential output terminal of the anode differential amplifier circuit 1211-B outputs the vertical differential voltage V yN .

[0125] The first input terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit 1211-A is connected to the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to one of the output cathodes x1 of the two-dimensional position sensitive detector, that is, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to one of the output cathodes x1 is accessed. x1a The second input terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit 1211-A is connected to the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier circuit corresponding to the other input cathode y2 of the two-dimensional position sensitive detector, that is, the voltage processing signal V corresponding to the other output cathode x2 is accessed. x2a The common-mode voltage input terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit is connected to the third common-mode voltage output terminal. The positive differential output terminal and the negative differential output terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit 1211-A are respectively connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3. The positive differential output terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit 1211-A outputs the horizontal differential voltage V xP The negative differential output terminal of the cathode differential amplifier circuit 1211-A outputs the horizontal differential voltage V xN .

[0126] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 which shows a schematic structural diagram of a differential amplifier circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 10 shown, the differential amplifier circuit includes a first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1, a second voltage-dividing resistor Rg2, a third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3, a fourth voltage-dividing resistor Rg4 and a differential amplification structure UW. The first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1 and the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3 have the same specifications, and the second voltage-dividing resistor Rg2 and the fourth voltage-dividing resistor Rg4 have the same specifications.

[0127] Preferably, one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1 serves as the first input terminal of the differential amplification circuit, the other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1 is connected to one end of the second voltage-dividing resistor Rg2 and the inverting input terminal of the differential amplification structure UW, and the other end of the second voltage-dividing resistor Rg2 is connected to one of the output terminals of the differential amplification structure UW and serves as the positive differential output terminal of the differential amplification circuit.

[0128] One end of the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3 serves as the second input terminal of the differential amplification circuit, the other end of the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3 is connected to one end of the fourth voltage-dividing resistor Rg4 and the non-inverting input terminal of the differential amplification structure UW, and the other end of the fourth voltage-dividing resistor Rg4 is connected to the other output terminal of the differential amplification structure UW and serves as the negative differential output terminal of the differential amplification circuit.

[0129] The common-mode voltage input terminal of the differential amplification structure UW is connected to the third common-mode voltage V refm .

[0130] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, the differential amplification component structure UW includes a fourth resistor R4, a fifth capacitor C5, and a second operational amplifier U2. Among them, the fourth resistor R4 can be selected as 10R. The inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1, the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the other end of the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3, and the common-mode voltage input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the third common-mode voltage V refm . The positive power supply input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is respectively connected to one end of the fifth capacitor C5 and one end of the fourth resistor R4. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the given single power supply VCC. The other end of the fifth capacitor C5 is grounded. The negative power supply input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is grounded to GND. The positive differential voltage output terminal and the negative differential voltage output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 are connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3.

[0131] Specifically, when the differential amplification circuit is a cathode differential amplification circuit, one end of the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3 is connected to the input cathode x1, one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1 is connected to the input cathode x2, and the positive differential voltage output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 outputs the horizontal differential voltage V xP to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3, and the negative differential voltage output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 outputs the horizontal differential voltage V xN to the analog-to-digital conversion module 3.

[0132] When the differential amplification circuit is an anode differential amplification circuit, one end of the third voltage-dividing resistor Rg3 is connected to the input anode y1, one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor Rg1 is connected to the input anode y2, and the positive differential voltage output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 outputs the vertical differential voltage V yPTo the analog-to-digital conversion module 3, the vertical differential voltage V is output from the negative differential voltage output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 yN To the analog-to-digital conversion module 3.

[0133] From Figure 10 It can be seen that for the cathode differential amplifier circuit:

[0134]

[0135] According to formula (25) and formula (26), there is:

[0136]

[0137] Among them, let Rg1 = Rg3 = Ra, Rg2 = Rg4 = Rb, then there is:

[0138]

[0139] Similarly, for the anode differential amplifier circuit, we get:

[0140]

[0141] From formula (23), it can be seen that the total voltage V sum contains the unwanted bias signal V err :

[0142]

[0143] The bias signal V err needs to be subtracted from the total voltage V sum This function is realized by the voltage summing component 1212. In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 shows a schematic structural diagram of a voltage summing component provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 11 shown, the voltage summing component 1212 includes a non-inverting summing structure 1212-A, an inverting feedback structure 1212-B, and a differential processing structure 1212-C. The feedback generated by the non-inverting summing structure 1212-A is equal to the feedback generated by the inverting feedback structure 1212-B.

[0185] ​​1. The microstage position measurement system provided by this application uses a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector to detect the position of the incident light, thereby realizing the calculation of the microstage position.

[0186] 2. The microstage position measurement system provided by this application has the advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio and strong anti-interference ability. Physical measures such as optical collimating lenses and light shields are used to minimize the errors introduced by ambient light. Circuit designs such as bias current compensation design, bias voltage, difference calculation, and summation significantly improve the dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio of the sensing device. Finally, the normalization calculation method is used to eliminate the influence of high-frequency jitter and light intensity change of the light source.

[0187] 3. Low power consumption and long service life: Since the workpiece stage is extremely sensitive to temperature, the present invention adopts a single power supply and low-power-consuming devices to achieve low-power design and minimize the influence on the workpiece stage as much as possible.

[0188] 4. The current servo loop control circuit designed in this application ensures that the light source operates at a low current, effectively increasing the service life of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector. As the usage time increases, the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector or the light source degrades. At this time, the current servo loop control circuit can correspondingly increase the light source current to keep the photocurrent of the two-dimensional position-sensitive detector constant.
