Definitions

  • the invention relates broadly to an active manipulator, a passive rotational joint, and an active prismatic joint.
  • Active manipulators provide fine orientation movements for high-precision manipulation.
  • High precision manipulation has application in a large number of technologies such as in imprinting operations.
  • Other examples include optics or laser- interferometer positioning in metrology systems, micro-scale handling and packaging processes, and nano-scale manipulation in robotic-assisted surgical devices or high- precision haptic devices etc.
  • SFIL Step-and-Flash Imprint Lithography
  • Ultra-Violet nanoimprint lithography has recently become a potential solution to replace conventional optical lithography.
  • SFIL is a room-temperature and low pressure process that relies on chemical and mechanical steps to transfer high resolution patterns from the templates (or molds) onto the substrates.
  • SFIL can eliminate the high temperatures and imprinting forces, which cause major technical issues in accurate overlaying of multiple layers. Consequently, it is the only nanoimprint lithography process that has successfully demonstrated the multi-layer- interconnections fabrications.
  • a fine-orientation stage is usually driven by three high- resolution Piezoelectric (PZT) actuators to achieve active orientation motions about the x-axis, ⁇ x, and the y-axis, ⁇ y, and an active translational motion along the ⁇ -axis.
  • PZT actuators are solid-state transducers that are usually formed by naturally-occurring crystals such as quartz, tourmaline and sodium potassium tartrate etc. When such a crystal is exposed to an electric field, it experiences an elastic strain, which causes its length to increase or decrease according to the field polarity. As the elementary cells of the crystal material are strongly bonded, the elastic strain (physical changes) is usually very small.
  • a PZT actuator with a length of 100mm only produces a maximum displacement of ⁇ O ⁇ m (800V input). Based on this ratio, a PZT actuator with an estimated length of 5m only offers a displacement that is well under 5mm. Due to such physical constraints, the PZT actuators are usually employed in applications that require a few hundred micrometers displacement or less. With the PZT actuators limited to a few hundred micrometers, an additional Z-actuator must achieve micrometer resolutions, which is realized by a stepper motor and a micro-resolution linear ball- screw.

  • the active prismatic joint may comprise a magnet structure mounted to the base platform; a movable coil extending through a magnetic field of the magnet structure; a compliant structure coupled between the moveable coil and the base platform.
  • the magnet structure may be configured for providing two magnetic fields, and the moveable coil extends through each of the magnetic fields.
  • the compliant structure may comprise a pair of linear spring structures coupled between the base platform and respective opposing ends of the moveable coil.
  • Each linear spring structure may comprise a double compound linear spring.
  • the double compound linear spring may comprise a set of beam-based flexure joints.
  • the passive rotational joint may comprise flexure joints defining two flexure axes extending substantially perpendicularly to each other across a body of the passive rotational joint.
  • the passive rotational joint may further comprise a set of compliant compound linear springs for providing rotational movement about an axis parallel to the translational direction.
  • the set of compliant compound linear springs may comprise a set of beam- based flexure joints.
  • the manipulator may further comprise a passive prismatic joint coupled between the active prismatic joint and the passive rotational joint.
  • the passive prismatic joint may be moveable in said one translational direction.

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to a nano-alignment manipulator capable of large displacements and orientations with nanometric resolutions.
  • An example embodiment of the manipulator is based on a 3-limbs prismatic-prismatic- spherical parallel kinematics configuration.

  • 3PPS 3-limb Prismatic-Prismatic- Spherical
  • One of the advantages of such embodiments using a parallel-kinematics configuration is that they can avoid the use of passive compliant revolute joints. This is because a passive compliant revolute joint, which typically targets for larger displacements, requires a thin slender design that is unsuitable for withstanding an imprinting force of 100N or more. In addition, such a slender designed flexure joint is sensitive to external disturbances, e.g., vibration etc, and possesses poor off-axis stiffness, which will affect the precision of the motion.
  • embodiments of the present invention uses compliant prismatic joints, which can offer more deterministic or precise motion.
  • embodiments of the present invention can possess higher off-axis stiffness to withstand the targeted imprinting force.
  • embodiments of the present invention are constructed based on the 3PPS parallel-kinematics configuration, which can be classified as a three Degrees-Of-Freedom (DOF) 3PPS Flexure-Based Parallel- Kinematics Manipulator (FPM).
