Product Description


Zygo ZMI-4004 4-Axis VME64x Displacement Measuring Interferometer Board
4-Axis Parallel Metrology | 10 MHz Data Rate | VME64x/HS-Serial | Sub-Nanometer Resolution | Semiconductor Lithography/Metrology
1. Core Product Overview
The Zygo ZMI-4004 is a 4-axis VME64x displacement measuring interferometer (DMI) board for semiconductor lithography, precision stage metrology, and nanometer-scale position feedback, delivering sub-nanometer resolution (0.16 nm) and 10 MHz data rate for 4 parallel measurement axes. It integrates with Zygo 7702/7712/7714/7724 laser heads, using interferometry to calculate linear/angular displacement with cyclic error reduction (patented) for DMI nonlinearity elimination. The 6U VME64x board supports Parallel VME and High-Speed Serial (HS-Serial) interfaces, with real-time synchronization (<100 ns) for multi-axis stage control, ideal for next-generation lithography (NGL) and semiconductor test equipment requiring nanometer-level overlay accuracy. It operates in -10°C~+55°C environments, with a 6U VME form factor for modular VME chassis integration, and includes on-board diagnostics for laser/channel health monitoring.

3. Measurement Principle & Cyclic Error Reduction
The ZMI-4004 uses optical interferometry: laser light splits into reference and measurement beams, with interference fringes detected to calculate displacement (1 fringe = λ/2, λ=633 nm). Its patented cyclic error reduction automatically eliminates DMI’s inherent nonlinearity (≤0.1 nm), critical for nanometer-level overlay accuracy in lithography. It measures linear (X/Y/Z) and angular (θx/θy/θz) displacement, with 4 axes supporting simultaneous X/Y/θx/θy feedback for stage control. On-board diagnostics monitor laser power, fringe amplitude, and channel health, triggering alarms via front-panel LEDs and a fault relay for remote monitoring. The board also includes a test mode for internal signal validation, ensuring measurement integrity during operation.

Measurement Principle: Optical interferometry; fringe counting; λ/2 resolution (316.5 nm/fringe); cyclic error reduction (≤0.1 nm)            • Axis Support: 4 parallel axes; linear/angular; X/Y/Z/θx/θy/θz (configurable); real-time sync (<100 ns)            • Diagnostics: Laser power monitoring; fringe amplitude; channel fault detection; LED status (Power/Amber/Alarm/Fault); fault relay            • Calibration: Cyclic error reduction (auto); laser wavelength calibration; axis alignment; test mode validation

4. Interface Protocols & System Integration
The ZMI-4004 uses a 6U VME64x form factor for modular integration into VME chassis, supporting Parallel VME (32/64-bit) and HS-Serial for high-speed data transfer (10 MHz) and real-time synchronization (<100 ns) with motion controllers. It connects to Zygo laser heads via fiber-optic cables, with plug-in terminals for power, communication, and I/O (relay outputs for alarms). Configuration is done via Zygo DMI Software (Windows) for axis setup, cyclic error reduction enable, data rate adjustment, and diagnostic threshold setting. It integrates with lithography tools (e.g., Nikon NSR FX-601F) and semiconductor test equipment, complying with SEMI standards for semiconductor manufacturing, with a 12-month Zygo warranty and global technical support.
