Huygens Optics | Maskless Wafer Stepper Part 2: Mechanics @HuygensOptics | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video is the 2nd of 3 video's on the design and build process of a small maskless wafer stepper. It discusses the mechanical aspects of the machine, in particular the challenges that I face to achieve the requirements.
0:00 General intro
1:18 First devices (Fresnel zone plates)
3:28 Mechanical system (wafer stage / focusser)
7:49 Position and lead screw linearity
10:09 Determining straightness and perpendicularity (squareness)
11:45 Z-axis positioning using a piezo actuator
I also show some crude footage of the first optically active devices. Sorry about the image quality, I will get back with more detailed images in future videos. The idea is to make micro optics with this machine.
More theory on the fresnel lens / zone plate can be found on : zoneplate.lbl.gov/theory

The end of this video contains a short clip from the rock-mockumentary "Spinal Tap" at 13:41. If you want to know why it is important to have controllers going all the way up to 11 in your equipment, please see the original video clip: youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc
