Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of displacement measurement devices and displacement measurement methods, and particularly relates to a linear displacement measurement and spatial positioning device with high-precision virtual synthetic wavelength. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the research on high-end equipment integration devices represented by lithography machines has become increasingly important, and the demand for high-precision displacement measurement and high-precision spatial positioning of displacement stages is also becoming stronger. Among them, the displacement measurement sensor is a key component for accurately measuring and positioning the spatial position of a large-size workpiece stage. Currently, the commonly used ASML six-dimensional precision measurement workpiece stage has a repeat measurement error of less than 5 nm and an angle detection of less than 10" in the overall integrated state. Using the laser wavelength as the measurement reference for high-precision displacement measurement is one of the mainstream measurement methods for non-contact, high-stability, and high-accuracy measurements. It mainly realizes precise linear measurement by the laser optical path difference caused by the laser beam inside the measurement mirror group and the change of the measurement reference phase.
[0003] Currently, the research on the laser interference displacement measurement model includes the following two schemes: Among them, the first scheme is the multi-pass measurement model of Pisani.M of the Italian National Institute of Metrology in 2009, which mainly uses the angular relationship of two plane mirrors in space to realize multiple round trips of the homodyne measurement beam in the two plane mirrors. Its measurement resolution can reach 0.4 nm, but due to the lateral offset of multiple reflections, this scheme cannot perform long-distance measurement; the second scheme is the laser synthetic wavelength displacement measurement model carried out by the team of Professor Chen Benyong of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, which mainly uses laser polarization locking to form double-wavelength incidence, and then constructs an interference measurement system using the different polarization characteristics of different wavelengths. However, this scheme still has the problem of insufficient synthetic wavelength stability.
[0004] Therefore, the existing laser displacement measurement devices have problems such as insufficient measurement accuracy, insufficient spatial positioning accuracy, and wavelength flutter and fluctuation. Summary of the Invention

[0058] High-precision displacement measurement with the laser wavelength as the measurement reference is one of the mainstream measurement methods for non-contact, high-stability, and high-accuracy measurements. Since the Michelson interferometry was proposed by Michelson in the United States in 1881, laser interferometers have entered a stage of rapid development. Currently, common products on the market include the high-precision laser interferometer positioning system of Keysight Technologies in the United States, the nano-displacement sensor module structure of Zygo Corporation in the United States, the spatial separation linear displacement measurement system of Harbin Institute of Technology, and the plane interference measurement system of Tsinghua University and China Laser Measurement Technology Co., Ltd. Among them, the laser vacuum wavelength stability of the high-precision laser interferometer positioning system of Keysight Technologies is better than 2 ppb, with four-fold optical subdivision, and the interference displacement measurement resolution is better than 0.15 nm; the laser vacuum wavelength stability of the nano-displacement sensor module structure of Zygo Corporation is better than 2 ppb, with four-fold optical subdivision, and the interference displacement measurement resolution is better than 0.31 nm; the non-linear error of the spatial separation linear displacement measurement system of Harbin Institute of Technology is better than ±1 nm, and the 1024-fold phase subdivision measurement resolution is better than 0.15 nm; the laser wavelength stability of the plane interference measurement system of Tsinghua University and China Laser Measurement Technology Co., Ltd. is better than ±20 ppb, the non-linear error is better than 0.5 nm, and the 1024-fold phase subdivision measurement resolution is better than 1 nm.
[0059] In the prior art, the research on the laser interference displacement measurement model also includes the multi-range measurement model of Pisani.M from the Italian National Institute of Metrology in 2009, and the laser synthetic wavelength displacement measurement model by the research team of Professor Chen Benyong from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. Among them, the multi-range measurement model mainly uses the angular relationship of two plane mirrors in spatial positions to achieve multiple round trips of the homodyne measurement beam in the two plane mirrors. Its measurement resolution can reach 0.4 nm, but due to the lateral offset of multiple reflections, this scheme cannot perform long-distance measurements; the laser synthetic wavelength displacement measurement model mainly uses laser polarization locking to form a dual-wavelength incident, and then constructs an interference measurement system using the different polarization characteristics of different wavelengths, but this scheme still has the problem of insufficient synthetic wavelength stability.
[0060] Through the research on the prior art, the researchers found that the prior art mainly has the following three problems: First, the optical subdivision accuracy is insufficient, and the measurement accuracy of the optical structure cannot be improved; second, the measurement stability of the laser wavelength is insufficient, and high-precision laser frequency stabilization accuracy cannot be obtained in real-time measurements; third, the measurement reference positioning is inaccurate, and the measurement reference often synchronously carries horizontal and vertical errors in large-scale measurements, and the horizontal and vertical measurement errors cannot be synchronously reduced.
[0061] To solve the problems of insufficient measurement accuracy, insufficient spatial positioning accuracy, and wavelength flutter and fluctuation existing in the prior art in laser displacement measurement devices, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision linear displacement measurement and spatial positioning device with virtual synthesized wavelength.
[0062] As Figure 1 shown, the high-precision linear displacement measurement and spatial positioning device with virtual synthesized wavelength provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a dual-frequency laser polarization separation module 1, a first laser measurement module 2, a second laser measurement module 5, a measurement reference mirror 7, a workbench 10, and a signal processing module.
[0063] The dual-frequency laser polarization separation module 1 is used to emit orthogonally linearly polarized light, polarization split the orthogonally linearly polarized light into a transmitted light and a reflected light, use the reflected light as a reference local oscillator signal, and split the transmitted light into a first transmitted light and a first reflected light that are perpendicular to each other.
[0064] Among them, the orthogonally linearly polarized light refers to two linearly polarized lights with vibration directions perpendicular to each other, and a polarization beam splitter can be used to separate the transmitted light and the reflected light in the orthogonally linearly polarized light. Among them, the transmitted light refers to the linearly polarized light with a polarization direction parallel to the incident plane, and the reflected light refers to the linearly polarized light with a polarization direction perpendicular to the incident plane.
[0065] Collect the reflected light obtained after polarization splitting as a reference local oscillator signal, perform secondary splitting on the transmitted light obtained after polarization splitting, split the transmitted light into a first transmitted light and a first reflected light that are perpendicular to each other, use the first transmitted light as the incident laser of the first laser measurement module 2, and use the first reflected light as the incident beam of the second laser measurement module 5.
[0066] The first laser measurement module 2 and the second laser measurement module 5 are parallel to each other. The measurement reference mirror 7 is arranged between the first laser measurement module 2 and the workbench 10, and between the second laser measurement module 5 and the workbench 10, and the measurement reference mirror 7 moves along with the workbench 10.
[0067] The first laser measurement module 2 is arranged on the optical path of the first transmitted light, and is used to cooperate with the measurement reference mirror 7 to form an optical subdivision with a first preset multiple to obtain a first measurement local oscillator signal.
[0068] The second laser measurement module 5 is arranged on the optical path of the first reflected light, and is used to cooperate with the measurement reference mirror 7 to form an optical subdivision with a second preset multiple to obtain a second measurement local oscillator signal. The second preset multiple is greater than the first preset multiple.
[0069] Specifically, the measurement reference mirror 7 is the same measurement base plane for the first laser measurement module 2 and the second laser measurement module 5. The measurement reference mirror 7 and the workbench 10 move synchronously, and the movement of the worktable is mainly divided into two parts, namely, linear movement along the X direction and linear movement along the Y direction.
[0070] The linear movement of the workbench 10 along the X direction refers to the vertical linear displacement measurement direction, which is the linear measurement of the actual length; the linear movement along the Y direction refers to the horizontal linear displacement measurement direction, which is to realize the horizontal linear deviation of the measurement reference mirror 7 during movement.
[0071] That is to say, when the worktable moves along the X direction, the measurement reference mirror 7 will move along the X direction with the worktable, and the same is true for the Y direction movement.
[0072] Among them, the optical subdivision of the first preset multiple means that the wavelength or phase change of the first transmitted light is amplified by the first preset multiple through an optical method to improve the measurement accuracy. The optical subdivision of the second preset multiple means that the wavelength or phase change of the first reflected light is amplified by the second preset multiple through an optical method to improve the measurement accuracy.
[0073] The optical method refers to using an optical system such as an interferometer or a grating to amplify the first transmitted light by the first preset multiple and simultaneously amplify the first reflected light by the second preset multiple, thereby achieving higher-precision measurement.
[0074] Both the first preset multiple and the second preset multiple are powers of 2, and the second preset multiple is greater than the first preset multiple, that is, the measurement accuracy of the second laser measurement module 5 is greater than that of the first laser measurement module 2.
[0075] The signal processing module is used to perform virtual synthesized wavelength testing based on the reference local oscillator signal, the first measurement local oscillator signal, the second measurement local oscillator signal, and the obtained laser local oscillator signal to obtain a displacement measurement value.
[0076] Among them, the virtual synthesized wavelength testing is a high-precision measurement method based on optical interference and signal processing technologies, mainly used to solve the phase ambiguity problem in single laser wavelength measurement. Its core idea is to generate a "virtual synthesized wavelength" longer than the original wavelength by combining multiple laser signals with different wavelengths, thereby expanding the unambiguous measurement range while maintaining high precision.
[0077] The high-precision virtual synthetic wavelength linear displacement measurement and spatial positioning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention uses the special effects of multiple laser reflections and virtual synthetic wavelengths to construct a high-precision virtual synthetic wavelength measurement structure, uses the multi-point characteristics to perform absolute positioning of the spatial position of the measurement reference mirror, then adopts wavelength virtual synthesis to achieve the purpose of wavelength frequency stabilization, and finally uses the phase shift amount of the measurement reference mirror under different characteristics to measure the linear length information of the measurement reference mirror, thereby effectively improving the measurement accuracy and spatial positioning accuracy of the device, and at the same time solving the problem of laser wavelength flutter and fluctuation.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset multiple is 8 times, the second preset multiple is 36 times, the number of first transmitted light beams incident on the first laser measurement module 2 is 4, and the number of first reflected light beams incident on the second laser measurement module 5 is 18. In the first laser measurement module 2, the number of times the laser reflects back and forth is 4, carrying 8 times the optical linear distance information; in the second laser measurement module 5, the number of times the laser reflects back and forth is 18, carrying 36 times the optical linear distance information.
[0079] The present invention uses a dual-frequency laser to make multiple round trips on the measurement reference mirror to obtain high-precision overlapping length measurement information and achieve high-precision laser displacement measurement.
[0080] The present invention utilizes the principle of optical path reversibility to realize a high-precision measurement device with 36-fold optical subdivision, forming a high-precision laser measuring ruler with multiple Doppler frequency shifts.
[0081] The present invention uses a second laser measurement module with 36-fold optical subdivision and a first laser measurement module with 8-fold optical subdivision to obtain the first measurement local oscillator signal and the second measurement local oscillator signal through a signal information acquisition card, and then forms a virtual synthetic laser wavelength measurement signal to achieve the frequency stabilization accuracy of the laser wavelength.
[0082] The first laser measurement module and the second laser measurement module of the present invention use the same measurement reference mirror as the measurement reference surface, and can be accurately positioned in space to achieve the absolute position accuracy of the measurement reference mirror.
[0083] Furthermore, the signal processing module includes a first photodetector 601, a second photodetector 602, a third photodetector 603, a signal information acquisition card 8, and a host computer 9, and the signal information acquisition card 8 is electrically connected to the first photodetector 601, the second photodetector 602, the third photodetector 603, and the host computer 9 respectively.
[0084] The first photodetector 601, the second photodetector 602, and the third photodetector 603 are respectively used to receive the optical signals corresponding to the reference local oscillator signal, the first measurement local oscillator signal, and the second measurement local oscillator signal, and convert the optical signals into corresponding electrical signals.
[0085] The signal information acquisition card 8 is used to determine the local oscillator signal of the laser according to the converted reference local oscillator signal and the local oscillator signal generated by the host computer 9 and injected into the dual-frequency laser polarization splitting module 1.
[0086] The signal information acquisition card 8 is also used to perform a virtual synthesized wavelength test according to the converted reference local oscillator signal, the local oscillator signal of the laser, the converted first measurement local oscillator signal, and the converted second measurement local oscillator signal to obtain a displacement measurement value.
[0087] The host computer 9 is also used to receive and display the displacement measurement value.
[0088] That is to say, the first photodetector 601, the second photodetector 602, and the third photodetector 603 are all used to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal. After transmitting the converted electrical signal displacement amount to the signal information acquisition card 8, the signal information acquisition card 8 performs virtual synthesized wavelength test processing on the converted reference local oscillator signal, the local oscillator signal of the laser, the converted first measurement local oscillator signal, and the converted second measurement local oscillator signal, and transmits the obtained displacement measurement value to the host computer 9 for display measurement.
[0089] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the dual-frequency laser polarization splitting module 1 includes a dual-frequency laser 101, a first polarization beam splitter prism 102, and a first beam splitter prism 103.
[0090] The dual-frequency laser 101 is used to emit two orthogonal linearly polarized lights with a frequency difference within a first preset range and a wavelength of a first preset value.
[0091] Among them, the first preset range is ±1 to 5 MHz, and the first preset value is 632.8 nm.
[0092] The first polarization beam splitter prism 102 is used to polarization split the orthogonal linearly polarized light into a transmitted light and a reflected light.
[0093] The first beam splitter prism 103 is arranged on the optical path of the transmitted light and is used to split the transmitted light into mutually perpendicular first transmitted light and first reflected light according to energy.
[0094] Specifically, two orthogonal linearly polarized light beams with a frequency difference of ±1 to 5 MHz and a laser wavelength of 632.8 nm are emitted by a dual-frequency laser 101. The linearly polarized light is polarization-split by a first polarization beam splitter prism 102. The transmitted light is projected onto a first beam splitter prism 103, and the reflected light is reflected to a first photodetector 601 as a reference local oscillator signal. The transmitted light is energy-split by the first beam splitter prism 103 into a first transmitted light and a first reflected light that are perpendicular to each other. The first transmitted light is directly incident on a first laser measurement module 2, and the first reflected light is converted to be parallel to the first transmitted light and then incident on a second laser measurement module 5.
[0095] Further, the high-precision virtual synthetic wavelength linear displacement measurement and spatial positioning device of the present invention further includes a first reflecting mirror 3 and a second beam splitter prism 4.
[0096] Among them, the first reflecting mirror 3 is arranged on the optical path of the first reflected light and is used to reflect the first reflected light to be parallel to the first transmitted light.
[0097] The second beam splitter prism 4 is arranged on the optical path between the first reflecting mirror 3 and the second laser measurement module 5 and is used to perform energy splitting on the first transmitted light to obtain a second transmitted light.
[0098] That is to say, the first reflected light is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 3 to be parallel to the first transmitted light, and then energy splitting is performed by the second beam splitter prism 4, and the obtained second transmitted light is incident on the second laser measurement module 5.
[0099] Further, the first laser measurement module 2 includes a second polarization beam splitter prism 201, a first quarter-wave plate 202, a first right-angled reflecting prism 203, and a second right-angled reflecting prism 204.
[0100] The second polarization beam splitter prism 201 is located between the dual-frequency laser polarization separation module 1 and the measurement reference mirror 7 and is used to transmit and reflect the first transmitted light.
[0101] Among them, the cross-section of the second polarization beam splitter prism 201 is rectangular and includes a first side surface, a second side surface, and a third side surface.
