Moving stages are essential but challenging components in semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturing. These stages, used in wafer inspection, lithography, metrology ,and other applications can cause significant vibration that can affect tool performance and throughput if it is not mitigated properly.In this interview, Elias Brassitos, Senior Control Systems Engineer at AMETEK, talks to AZoMaterials about these challenges and solutions. TMC works...

The article "Vibration Control Solutions for Microscopy" focuses on the critical role of vibration control in ensuring accurate results in microscopy, especially for high-precision instruments like electron microscopes. Microscopes, particularly advanced models such as Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) or Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM), require extreme stability to capture high-resolution images. Even slight vibration from environmental factors such as nearby foot...
