Aerotech manufactures complete vacuum-compatible
motion systems for high-performance applications such as
Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography, Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM), Ion Beam Profiling, E-Beam
Inspection, and wafer bumping. Platforms are available in a wide variety of multi-axis configurations to achieve the complex motions you require. These systems include ultra-high accuracy with nanometer-level in-position stability. Vacuum preparation for 10-8 torr (1.3 x 10-8 mbar) is achieved by incorporating vented hardware, vacuum compatible lubrication, and special cabling. Custom systems can achieve 10-9 torr vacuum levels. Aerotech can provide systems with partial pressure (outgassing) limits at specific atomic mass units. Systems are RGA verification tested. Aerotech also manufactures brushless linear and rotary motors with tightly controlled magnetic fields that can be liquid- or gas-cooled to improve thermal
management. Finally, special handling and cleaning
procedures along with careful material selection allow for
the lowest Total Mass Loss (TML) and Collected Volatile
Condensable Materials (CVCM) possible.
