Based on the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned in the background, embodiments of the present utility model provide a stage displacement system that is applicable to a lithographic apparatus for controlling a stage of the lithographic apparatus. Fig. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a table displacement system according to an embodiment of the present utility model, and fig. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a table according to an embodiment of the present utility model, where fig. 1 and fig. 2 can be combined to refer to the table displacement system according to an embodiment of the present utility model, where the table displacement system includes: a table 1, a motor 2, an encoder assembly 3 and a displacement control module 4. The motor 2 is connected with the workbench 1 in a transmission way, and the motor 2 rotates to drive the workbench 1 to move. The encoder assembly 3 is fixed with the motor 2, the encoder assembly 3 comprises a rotation angle signal output end 3a, and the rotation angle signal output end 3a is electrically connected with the displacement control module 4; the displacement control module 4 includes a rotation angle signal receiving end 4a and a compensation angle signal output end 4b, the rotation angle signal receiving end 4a is electrically connected with the rotation angle signal output end 3a, and the compensation angle signal output end 4b is electrically connected with the motor 2. The encoder assembly 3 is used for detecting the current rotation angle of the motor 2 in real time and transmitting a current rotation angle signal to the displacement control module 4. The displacement control module 4 is used for determining the current displacement of the workbench 1 according to the current rotation angle signal, and determining the compensation displacement of the workbench 1 when the current displacement is different from the target displacement; the displacement control module 4 is further configured to determine a compensation angle of the motor 2 according to the compensation displacement amount, and send a compensation angle signal to the motor 2. The motor 2 operates according to the compensation angle signal until the current displacement amount of the table 1 is equal to the target displacement amount.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, taking an example in which the displacement system of the table 1 is applied to a lithographic apparatus, the table 1 may be a carrier for placing a wafer or a device to be etched. The motor 2 can be connected with the workbench 1 through a screw rod, and when the motor 2 rotates, the motor 2 drives the workbench 1 to move. It will be appreciated that after the rotation angle of the motor 2 is determined, the displacement of the motor 2 to move the table 1 may also be determined.
Further, the encoder assembly 3 may be fixed to the motor 2, and the encoder assembly 3 may detect a real-time rotation angle (i.e. a current rotation angle) of the motor 2 during the movement of the table 1, and generate a current rotation angle signal corresponding to the current rotation angle, so as to transmit the current rotation angle signal to the rotation angle signal receiving end 4a of the displacement control module 4 through the rotation angle signal output end 3 a. The arrows on the connection lines between the modules shown in fig. 2 may indicate the signal transmission direction.
The displacement control module 4 may be a main control module, and the rotation angle signal receiving end 4a of the displacement control module 4 is configured to receive a current rotation angle signal. After receiving the current rotation angle signal, the displacement control module 4 analyzes the current rotation angle signal to determine the current rotation angle of the motor 2; and thus the current displacement amount of the table 1 is determined according to the current rotation angle. The current displacement amount can also be understood as the actual displacement amount of the table 1. After the current displacement is determined, the displacement control module 4 can compare the current displacement with the target displacement, if there is a deviation between the current displacement and the target displacement, the compensation displacement is determined according to the deviation value between the current displacement and the target displacement, and then the angle (namely the compensation angle) of the motor 2 which is required to rotate is calculated according to the compensation displacement.
After the compensation angle is determined, the displacement control module 4 may generate a compensation angle signal reflecting the compensation angle, and transmit the compensation angle signal to the motor 2 through the compensation angle signal output terminal 4b, where the motor 2 operates according to the compensation angle signal. After the motor 2 rotates according to the compensation angle signal, the encoder assembly 3 continues to detect the current rotation angle of the motor 2 after the workbench 1 moves, the displacement control module 4 continues to determine the current displacement according to the current rotation angle, and the process is circularly executed until the current displacement of the workbench 1 is equal to the target displacement. It will be appreciated that if there is no deviation between the current displacement amount and the target displacement amount, it may be determined that the table 1 is moved to the target position, and the displacement control module 4 no longer controls the table 1 to move.
Wherein the target displacement amount may be input by a user, but is not limited thereto. The current rotation angle signal and the compensation angle signal may be electrical signals or digital signals, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present utility model.
The encoder assembly 3 may be an absolute type photoelectric encoder or an incremental type photoelectric encoder, but is not limited thereto, and the encoder assembly 3 may be fixed to the spindle of the motor 2 or fixed to the housing of the motor 2. The embodiment of the utility model is not limited to the specific structure and the installation position of the encoder assembly 3, and a person skilled in the art can set the encoder assembly according to actual requirements, so that the encoder assembly 3 can detect the rotation angle of the motor 2.
Alternatively, in a possible embodiment, the number of motors and the number of encoder assemblies are 2, and the two motor control tables are moved in a first direction and a second direction, respectively, the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular. The two encoder assemblies are electrically connected with the two motors in a one-to-one correspondence.
The two encoder assemblies are used for detecting the current rotation angles of the motors which are respectively and correspondingly electrically connected in real time and respectively sending the corresponding current rotation angle signals to the displacement control module. The displacement control module respectively determines the current displacement of the workbench in two directions according to the received two current rotation angle signals, and respectively determines the compensation displacement of the workbench in two directions when the current displacement is different from the target displacement; the displacement control module is also used for determining the compensation angles of the two motors according to the compensation displacement amount and respectively sending the two compensation angle signals to the corresponding motors.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, during the photolithography process, the table 1 may move in two directions that are horizontal and perpendicular to each other, and a rectangular coordinate system may be constructed by taking the first direction X as the X axis and taking the second direction Y as the Y axis, and displacement amounts of the first direction X and the second direction Y may form a position coordinate of the table 1 in the rectangular coordinate system. The two encoder assemblies (not shown in the figure) respectively detect the current rotation angles of the motors (not shown in the figure) which are correspondingly and electrically connected, respectively generate current rotation angle signals, and further respectively send the current rotation angle signals to the displacement control module. Wherein, optionally, the number of the displacement control modules may be one or two, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present utility model.
For example, in an alternative embodiment, the number of displacement control modules is 1, and the displacement control modules may respectively include two rotation angle signal receiving ends and two compensation angle signal output ends, where the rotation angle signal receiving ends are electrically connected to the encoder assemblies in a one-to-one correspondence, and the compensation angle signal output ends are electrically connected to the motors in a one-to-one correspondence.
In this embodiment, taking a displacement control module as an example, the displacement control module has two rotation angle signal receiving ends (not shown in the figure) that receive the current rotation angle signals transmitted by the rotation angle signal output ends of the two encoder assemblies in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and then the displacement control module can determine the current displacement amount of the workbench 1 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, that is, the current position coordinates of the workbench 1, according to each current rotation angle signal. Accordingly, the target displacement amount may be a target position coordinate of the table 1, which may include target displacement amounts of the table 1 in the first direction X and the second direction Y.
Further, the displacement control module may determine whether the current displacement in the first direction X is the same as the target displacement in the first direction X, and whether the current displacement in the second direction Y is the same as the target displacement in the second direction Y, respectively. If the current displacement amounts in the first direction X and the second direction Y are the same as the target displacement amounts, it is determined that the table 1 reaches the target positions in the first direction X and the second direction Y, that is, the table reaches the target positions in the X and Y axes. And if the current displacement amounts of the first direction X and the second direction Y are different from the target displacement amounts, respectively determining the compensation displacement amounts of the workbench 1 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, further determining the compensation angles of the two motors according to the compensation displacement amounts of the first direction X and the second direction Y, and respectively transmitting the two compensation angle signals to the corresponding motors through the corresponding compensation angle signal output ends.
In other embodiments, not shown, the number of displacement control modules may be two, and the two displacement control modules are respectively electrically connected to the two encoder assemblies and the two motors. The two displacement control modules respectively determine the current displacement quantity in the respective corresponding directions according to the current rotation signals transmitted by the electrically connected encoder assemblies, and further generate the compensation displacement quantity in the corresponding directions and the compensation angle signals of the motors when the current displacement quantity is different from the target displacement quantity, and the two motors respectively rotate according to the received compensation angle signals.
The current rotation angle of the motor indicated in the following embodiments of the present utility model may be any one or two corresponding current rotation angles of the two motors, and correspondingly, the current displacement amount of the workbench may refer to the current displacement amount of the workbench corresponding to any one or two directions.
The control logic of the scheme is to carry out closed-loop control on the displacement of the workbench, wherein the closed-loop control is a feedback control mode, and the output of a controlled object is used as a feedback signal for control. In closed loop control, the controller adjusts the output signal based on the difference (error) between the feedback signal and the desired reference input so that the system output is as close as possible to the reference input. The mechanism of the feedback control can enable the system to automatically adjust to disturbance and change, thereby improving stability and precision. The high-precision control of the workbench of the photoetching machine can be realized by utilizing a closed-loop control mode. Specifically, negative feedback control of closed loop control can be selected, and the stability of the negative feedback control is higher.
The control action of the system is regulated by the deviation value of the actual displacement and the target displacement, so that the actual displacement and the target displacement are as close as possible to compensate the error generated in the moving process of the workbench, thereby improving the precision of the work movement and prolonging the service life of the workbench displacement system.
The workbench displacement system provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises: the device comprises a workbench, a motor, an encoder assembly and a displacement control module, wherein the motor is in transmission connection with the workbench, and the motor rotates to drive the workbench to move. The encoder assembly is fixed with the motor and comprises a rotation angle signal output end which is electrically connected with the displacement control module; the displacement control module comprises a rotation angle signal receiving end and a compensation angle signal output end, wherein the rotation angle signal receiving end is electrically connected with the rotation angle signal output end, and the compensation angle signal output end is electrically connected with the motor. The encoder component can detect the current rotation angle of the motor in real time and send a current rotation angle signal to the displacement control module, and the displacement control module can determine the current displacement of the workbench according to the current rotation angle signal and determine the compensation displacement of the workbench when the current displacement is different from the target displacement; the displacement control module can also determine the compensation angle of the motor according to the compensation displacement amount and send a compensation angle signal to the motor; the motor works according to the compensation angle signal until the current displacement of the workbench is equal to the target displacement. In the scheme, the control action of the system is regulated by the deviation value of the actual displacement and the target displacement, so that the actual displacement and the target displacement are as close as possible to compensate errors generated in the moving process of the workbench, the moving precision of the workbench is improved, and the service life of the workbench displacement system is prolonged.
Optionally, the displacement control module may include a proportional controller (P controller), a proportional-integral controller (PI controller), or a proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller), which may be implemented by any person skilled in the art and are not described in detail herein.
Optionally, fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of another table displacement system according to an embodiment of the present utility model, referring to fig. 3, in a possible embodiment, the encoder assembly 3 includes a code wheel 31 and a detection unit 32 that are electrically connected, the code wheel 31 rotates synchronously with the motor 2, and the detection unit 32 includes a rotation angle signal output end 3a; the displacement control module 4 includes a comparing element 41 and a table control unit 42 electrically connected, the comparing element 41 includes a rotation angle signal receiving end 4a, and the table control unit 42 includes a compensation angle signal output end 4b. The detecting unit 32 is configured to obtain a current rotation angle of the code wheel 31, determine a current rotation angle of the motor 2 according to the current rotation angle, and generate a current rotation angle signal; wherein the rotation angle of the code wheel 31 corresponds to the rotation angle of the motor 2 one by one. The comparing element 41 is configured to receive the current rotation angle signal and determine a current displacement amount of the workbench 1 according to the current rotation angle signal; the comparing element 41 is further configured to determine a compensation displacement amount of the table 1 when the current displacement amount is different from the target displacement amount, determine a compensation angle of the motor 2 according to the compensation displacement amount, and generate a compensation angle signal; the table control unit 42 is configured to receive the compensation angle signal and send the compensation angle signal to the motor 2.
Specifically, as an alternative embodiment, the encoder assembly may be an absolute photoelectric encoder, which is a rotation detection device. The absolute photoelectric encoder is composed of a code wheel 31 and a detection unit 32, and the code wheel 31 may be fixed to a main shaft of the motor 2 or to a housing of the motor 2 to rotate in synchronization with the motor 2. Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a code wheel according to an embodiment of the present utility model, and as shown in fig. 4, the code wheel 31 may be a binary code wheel, which is made of a plurality of metals on a non-conductive substrate to make it conductive, wherein a shaded portion is a conductive region, and the other portion is an insulating region. Each radial direction, which is a pattern of concentric circles, represents an absolute count value, and the turns making up the code are generally referred to as code tracks 310, and the innermost turn of code wheel 31 is a common code track 310, which is connected to all conductive portions of each code track 310, and is connected to a negative electrode (not shown) of a power supply via brushes (not shown) and resistors (not shown). Brushes are mounted on each track 310 of the code wheel 31, the position of the brushes being fixed, the brushes being connected to the positive pole of the power supply via resistors.
When the motor 2 drives the code wheel 31 to rotate together, the relative positions of the brushes and the code wheel 31 change, and the resistance connected with the brushes in series can have two conditions that current passes or no current passes. The electric brush contacts with a conductive area, and a current passes through a resistor in a loop and is output as 1; in contrast, the electric brush contacts an insulation area, no current passes through the resistor, and the output is 0. Thus, a 4-bit binary code consisting of "1" and "0" can be obtained according to the position of the brush. If the code wheel 31 rotates clockwise, the digital signal output coded according to the specification can be obtained in turn.
Referring to fig. 3, the detecting unit 32 may determine the current rotation angle of the code wheel 31 according to the output digital signal, and the rotation angle of the code wheel 31 is the rotation angle of the motor 2 since the code wheel 31 and the motor 2 are rotated synchronously. After determining the current rotation angle of the motor 2, the detection unit 32 generates a current rotation angle signal and transmits the current rotation angle signal to the displacement control module 4 through the rotation angle signal output terminal 3a thereof.
Further, the comparing element 41 of the displacement control module 4 may be a controller mentioned in the above embodiment, and the comparing element 41 is provided with the current rotation angle signal receiving end 4a. The specific structure of the comparison element 41 may be a relay board provided with various electronic components, but is not limited thereto. For example, the correspondence between the rotation angle of the motor 2 and the displacement of the table 1 may be pre-stored in the comparing element 41, and the comparing element 41 may determine the current displacement of the table 1 based on the correspondence after receiving the current rotation angle signal transmitted by the detecting unit 32.
If the current displacement does not reach the target displacement, the comparing element 41 may calculate a difference between the two, i.e. the compensation displacement, and may determine a compensation angle based on a correspondence between the rotation angle of the motor 2 and the displacement of the table 1, i.e. the rotation angle of the motor 2 when the table 1 moves by the compensation displacement. The comparing element 41 generates a compensation angle signal that reflects the compensation angle and sends the compensation angle signal to the table control unit 42. The table control unit 42 transmits the compensation angle signal to the motor 2 through the compensation angle signal output terminal 4b to control the motor 2 to continue rotating the compensation angle. After the motor 2 rotates by the compensation angle, the detecting unit 32 of the encoder assembly 3 continues to detect the current rotation angle of the motor 2, the comparing element 41 continues to execute the above-mentioned comparison procedure, and if the current displacement of the workbench 1 still does not reach the target displacement, the motor 2 is continuously controlled to rotate; if the current displacement amount of the table 1 reaches the target displacement amount, the control operation can be ended. Normally, the table 1 can reach the target displacement amount after the motor 2 rotates by the compensation angle again.
Alternatively, the method in which the comparing element determines the current displacement amount of the table based on the current rotation angle and determines the compensation angle based on the compensation displacement amount is not limited to the above-described embodiments. By way of example, the operation of an alternative comparison element is described below.
The comparison element may comprise, for example, a current displacement amount determination unit and a compensation angle determination unit; the first end of the current displacement amount determining unit is a rotation angle signal receiving end, and the second end of the current displacement amount determining unit is electrically connected with the first end of the compensation angle determining unit; the second end of the compensation angle determining unit is electrically connected with the workbench control unit.
Specifically, the current displacement amount determining unit of the comparing element may be configured to determine the current displacement amount of the table according to the formula (1) and the formula (2);
S1＝θ1*P/360° (1)
S2＝(θ2/θ1)*S1 (2)
Wherein, theta 1 is the unit resolution angle of the rotation of the code disc, theta 1＝360°/2n, n is the number of code tracks on the code disc, n is an integer, and n is more than or equal to 23 and less than or equal to 29; s 1 is the unit displacement of the workbench corresponding to the unit resolution angle, and P is the lead of the lead screw of the motor when the motor rotates for one circle; s 2 is the current displacement of the table, and θ 2 is the current rotation angle of the motor.
The compensation angle determining unit of the comparing element may be configured to determine the compensation displacement amount according to formula (3) and the compensation angle according to formula (4);
S＝S3-S2 (3)
θ3＝S/S1 (4)
Wherein S is the compensation displacement, S 3 is the target displacement, and θ 3 is the compensation angle.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, according to the resolution angle formula of the absolute photoelectric encoder: for the θ 1＝360°/2n, for an absolute photoelectric encoder, the larger the number n of code tracks on the code disc, the smaller the unit resolution angle θ 1 of the encoder, the unit resolution angle θ 1 is the minimum rotation angle of the code disc which can be detected by the detection unit, and the smaller the unit resolution angle θ 1, the higher the accuracy which can be achieved when the encoder measures. In this embodiment, the code disc may be set to include 23-29 code tracks, so as to improve the resolution of the encoder assembly and improve the detection accuracy. As can be seen from the above, the rotation angle of the code wheel is the same as the rotation angle of the motor, and the unit resolution angle θ 1 of the code wheel is the unit resolution angle θ 1 of the motor when rotating. When the number of code channels is controlled in the range, the unit displacement of the motor during rotation is in nanometer level, and meets the use requirement of the photoetching machine.
The motor is generally connected with the workbench through a screw rod, and the motor rotates to drive the screw rod to move so as to drive the workbench to move. The lead screw lead P refers to the displacement of the workbench when the motor rotates for one circle (i.e. 360 °), and then the product of the unit resolution angle θ 1 and the lead screw lead P is divided by 360 °, namely the unit displacement S 1 of the workbench under the unit resolution angle θ 1, or the unit displacement S 1 of the workbench moving per unit resolution angle θ 1 of the motor rotation.

S110, detecting the current rotation angle of the motor in real time by the encoder assembly, and sending a current rotation angle signal to the displacement control module.
The encoder assembly can be fixed with the motor, and can detect the real-time rotation angle (namely the current rotation angle) of the motor in the moving process of the workbench, and generate a current rotation angle signal corresponding to the current rotation angle, so that the current rotation angle signal is transmitted to the rotation angle signal receiving end of the displacement control module through the rotation angle signal output end.
S120, a displacement control module determines the current displacement of the workbench according to the current rotation angle signal, and determines the compensation displacement of the workbench when the current displacement is different from the target displacement; the displacement control module also determines a compensation angle of the motor according to the compensation displacement amount and sends a compensation angle signal to the motor.
The displacement control module can be a main control module, and the rotation angle signal receiving end of the displacement control module is used for receiving the current rotation angle signal. After receiving the current rotation angle signal, the displacement control module analyzes the current rotation angle signal to determine the current rotation angle of the motor; and then determining the current displacement of the workbench according to the current rotation angle. The current displacement amount may also be understood as the actual displacement amount of the table. After the current displacement is determined, the displacement control module can compare the current displacement with the target displacement, if deviation exists between the current displacement and the target displacement, the compensation displacement is determined according to the deviation value between the current displacement and the target displacement, and then the motor is calculated according to the angle (namely the compensation angle) required to rotate according to the compensation displacement.
And S130, the motor works according to the compensation angle signal until the current displacement of the workbench is equal to the target displacement.
After the compensation angle is determined, the displacement control module can generate a compensation angle signal reflecting the compensation angle and transmit the compensation angle signal to the motor through the compensation angle signal output end, and the motor works according to the compensation angle signal. After the motor rotates according to the compensation angle signal, the encoder component continues to detect the current rotation angle of the motor after the workbench moves, the displacement control module continues to determine the current displacement according to the current rotation angle, and the process is circularly executed until the current displacement of the workbench is equal to the target displacement. It will be appreciated that if there is no deviation between the current displacement and the target displacement, it may be determined that the table is moving to the target position, and the displacement control module no longer controls the table to move.
According to the displacement control method provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the control action of the system is regulated by the deviation value of the actual displacement and the target displacement, so that the actual displacement and the target displacement are as close as possible to compensate the error generated in the moving process of the workbench, the moving precision of the workbench is improved, and the service life of the workbench displacement system is prolonged.

S2＝(θ2/θ1)*S1 (2)
Wherein, theta 1 is the unit resolution angle of the rotation of the code disc, theta 1＝360°/2n, n is the number of code tracks on the code disc, n is an integer, and n is more than or equal to 23 and less than or equal to 29; s 1 is the unit displacement of the workbench corresponding to the unit resolution angle, and P is the lead of the lead screw of the motor when the motor rotates for one circle; s 2 is the current displacement of the workbench, and theta 2 is the current rotation angle of the motor;
