Abstract

See full text

An atomic force microscopy tool (AFM) configured for receiving a plate including a coordinate reference pattern on the plate, for providing a position reference for the AFM: and a device for qualifying a coordinate reference pattern in the AFM, comprising a fixed reference frame, a pattern encoder for reading the reference pattern, an actuation stage for relatively moving the plate and the pattern encoder parallel to the plate, a displacement measurement system for measuring a displacement of the plate or pattern encoder relative to the fixed reference frame, and a controller for controlling the actuation stage, the encoder, and the measurement system, arranged to identify imperfections in the coordinate reference pattern and their locations by controlling the displacement measurement system; and arranged for storing each imperfection coupled to the location determined.
