Engineering Costs Setting up a fabrication account is essential –General and Administrative 46.5% GR1 20.6% Fab Detail budget should be submitted to NCEM January 1, 2004 based on limitations of scope of work

Specifications Currently Set Drift Specification –Dream #: 1Å / 10 mins – applications Lorentz (single spins – 1000 secs), EFTEM (for 1Å Resolution may need 5 mins exposure) –Minimum acceptable: 0.5 Å / 1 min –Present standard is 2 Å / min, so the existing minimum is almost sufficient, but we’d really prefer to do better –This is for x, y and z Eucentricity –Very desirable to make any point eucentric via software control as opposed to only having only one point in space that is eucentric. –Would represent an incredible improvement for the operator
13
Range –Coarse Travel x & y = 2 mm z = Dream spec 3 mm (if designing for bigger gap microscopes, TEAM II+), minimum z = 0.5 mm for TEAM I Note that this constraint is largely based on present 3 mm disc size – practical reason, not an engineering –Resolution of coarse motion: Generally want 10 times overlap of coarse motion to fine – this dictates about 10 nm –Range over which fine travel is in existence: 10 µm (or better) –Resolution of fine motion: 30-50pm Specifications Currently Set (Continued 1)
14
Repeatability – 5 times worse than resolution – thus, that means 250 pm (0.25 Å) Precision –10 times worse than resolution – that’s then 500 pm (0.5Å) Repeatability between microscopes –It was noted that doing this very successfully would be very beneficial in terms of justifying use of two columns instead of one column. –Kinematic joint for cartridge between microscopes – goal is to be able to analyze the same nanoparticle in both the TEM and STEM columns Repeatability resolution 250 nm coarse motion (maybe better) Want an optical method for fine positioning Needs to be discovered what we can expect for resolution on this, what software exists If better than 10 nm we’re very happy Specifications Currently Set (Continued 2)
15
Specifications Currently Set (Continued 3) Rotations –Specimen stage: ± 20 is minimum, 45 is preferred, 70 is desired –Resolution: 100 µrad – Discussed in terms of requirements for TEAM I & beyond TEAM I. Likely that TEAM I will need only 20 for routine use The additional tilted need for tomography will almost have to come from a special cartridge design Speed –Worth considering, but not a priority but a convenience –Obviously, faster is better –Shoot for 1 rpm
16
Cartridge –Types of samples: 3mm disc, FIB, MEMS –Sample Size: 3 mm disc as standard Reason: if we deviate from the 3mm disc size, users will not be able to do any sample preparation prior to use of the TEAM instrument. This is not desirable. Size: Thickness: 0.5 mm in center, thicker to the sides, x & y will depend on design –Cartridge should be a kinematic fixture Specifications Currently Set (Continued 4)
17
Specifications Currently Set (Continued 5) Materials –Non-magnetic –Conductive –Stiff –Thermally stable –UHV-compatible/bakeable –Be? Cu-Be?

Nano/Sub-Nanometer Scale Manipulation ControlMechanical ComponentsEnvironment 1. Actuator -Piezo (No Stiction) 2. Feedback - Laser/Capacitance ~ 10 times better than target accuracy. 3. Control Technique - Coarse/Fine (with compensation) 1. Material - Stability - CTE (Super/Invar, Zerodur) - Residual Stress - Stiffness 2. Kinematics - ABBE error - Cosine error - Axis coupling effect 3. Part Accuracy - Surface Condition - Straightness - Dimensional accuracy 1. Vibration/Acoustic -Vibration isolation -Avoiding Eigen-modes 2. Thermal -Thermal inertia -Heat isolation -Minimize heat generation 3. Electro-magnetic -Shielding & Isolation - Avoid monitors & computers, noisy electric motors 4. Media for Sensors -Humidity, Air pressure, Temperature change

How to solve the problems Piezo actuation Laser/capacitance readback Coarse/Fine control 5mm PZT 5mm workspace 0.5nm open loop resolution Laser 0.01nm resolution Capacitance 0.01nm resolution Target Electric field fine motion coarse motion Joint bearings (fine-motion) Bearings Stick-slip Error motion Flexures Continuous Small error Small workspace
21
System Design Why do we need Nanometer accuracy for the Macro-scale components? –The guiding system directly effects the system overall accuracy. –The error amount should be within fine motion control region e : Orthogonality : Straightness : ABBE error It’s not easy to get better than 0.1 mrad ABBE error with conventional machining. x-axis y-axis guide surface error amount ( ) < fine motion travel range (1~10 microns) (when e=0.1mrad and r=50mm)
