Abstract

Micro-automation is defined as the automatic control of processes that require that relative motions be achieved with micron or submicron accuracy. This article discusses micro- automation of mechanical processes in fabrication of semiconductor devices. We identify a few applications of micro-automation, elaborate on the general system requirements, and present a specific realization of a micro-automation system which uses optical sensing and magnetic actuation.
