Active Compensation of Position Dependent Flexible Dynamics in High-Precision Mechatronics
<|reference_start|>Active Compensation of Position Dependent Flexible Dynamics in High-Precision Mechatronics: Growing demands in the semiconductor industry necessitate increasingly stringent requirements on throughput and positioning accuracy of lithographic equipment. Meeting these demands involves employing highly aggressive motion profiles, which introduce position-dependent flexible dynamics, thus compromising achievable position tracking performance. This paper introduces a control approach enabling active compensation of position-dependent flexible dynamics by extending the conventional rigid-body control structure to include active control of flexible dynamics. To facilitate real-time implementation of the control algorithm, appropriate position-dependent weighting functions are introduced, ensuring computationally efficient execution of the proposed approach. The efficacy of the proposed control design approach is demonstrated through experiments conducted on a state-of-the-art extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wafer stage.<|reference_end|>
