ZT

The ZT box module offers two degrees of freedom – Z and Theta – in a single unit, with both coarse and fine Z-axis adjustments available. Designed for wafer process control applications, it can function independently or be mounted atop an XY platform.

This module provides versatile motion control capabilities, featuring infinite rotation and built-in vacuum supply at the wafer chuck level. It incorporates a gravity compensator and is ISO 1 clean room compatible, making it ideal for thin film metrology and critical dimensions in semiconductor manufacturing.

With a coarse Z axis offering a 12 mm stroke for wafer loading/unloading and a fine Z axis with a 4 mm stroke for focus adjustment, this module ensures precise and stable positioning. Additionally, it offers excellent Z jitter and move-and-settle performance.
