The cylindrical design of the VCM (voice coil motor) utilizes a tubular structure which houses its basic components. It consists of a coil and a permanent magnet, both aligned along the motor's center axis. The coil is usually wound around a hollow cylinder, while the permanent magnet surrounds the coil. In semiconductor applications, the accuracy and responsiveness of the VCM cylindrical voice coil motor is critical to achieving the stringent requirements of the semiconductor manufacturing process. It allows precise manipulation of the wafer, ensuring consistent and high quality production of semiconductor devices.
Manipulation in semiconductor applications:
Wafer Handling: During semiconductor manufacturing, wafers need to be precisely positioned for a variety of processes. the VCM cylindrical motor is integrated into the wafer handling system to enable precise alignment.
Alignment: When a wafer needs to be positioned for a specific process, the control system sends a signal to the VCM. Current flows through a coil, creating a magnetic field. The interaction between this magnetic field and the permanent magnets creates a force that moves the coil and the attached load (wafer) to the desired position.
Feedback Control: To ensure accuracy, the motion of the VCM is monitored by a feedback system. Sensors measure the position of the motor and provide this information to the control system. If any deviation from the target position is detected, the control system adjusts the current flowing through the coil to correct the position.
High Accuracy: The VCM cylindrical motor utilizes a direct drive mechanism, resulting in high accuracy. Since there are no gears or belts, backlash and mechanical clearance are minimized, resulting in precise positioning.
