Development of a 1.5D reference comparator for position and straightness metrology on photomasks

Abstract: The so-called Nanometer Comparator is the PTB vacuum length comparator which has been developed for high precision length metrology on measurement objects with micro-and nanostructured graduations, like e.g. line scales, incremental encoders or photomasks. The Nanometer Comparator allows to achieve smallest measurement uncertainties in the nm-range by use of vacuum laser interferometry for the displacement measurement. We will report on the achieved measurement performance of this high precision vacuum length … Show more

“…Developments to enhance the measurement capability of 1D comparators with additional straightness measurement capability were described [58] and could be applied for high precision calibration of 1.5D encoders [91,112] and combined length and straightness calibrations of graduations on planar substrates like e.g. photomasks.…”

“…Dies limitiert die Prüflingshöhe auf etwa 100 μm für Messunsicherheiten im niedrigen zweistelligen Nanometerbereich. Jedoch erlaubt das TMS-Verfahren bei Verwendung von Abstandsinterferometern als Sensoren und geeigneter Prüflingsform auch Messunsicherheiten unterhalb von einem Nanometer [10]. Für industrielle Applikationen mit geringeren Anforderungen an die Messunsicherheit wurde das TMS-Verfahren bereits in die Industrie transferiert [9].…”

“…They can be calibrated by using different measurement set-ups, depending on their length and precision. Set-ups for calibrating high-precision line scales normally involve a microscope with an optical sensor for capturing and analysing the image of a line marker and a laser interferometer as a traceable measurement standard [4][5][6].…”
