‘Using the Galvo Calibration File Converter with the Nmark SSaM’ - .PDF file.

Calibrating the field of view for scanners is typically an iterative process where a series of marks are placed on a substrate and the location of these marks is used to create a calibration file, and the process is repeated to reach final system accuracy. Each iteration of the mark-and-measure sequence must combine the new measurement values with the current calibration table to create a new calibration table. When the tables are of the same resolution, the values can be added directly to each other. When the density of the marks in the tables to be combined is not equal, an algorithm must be applied to interpolate lower-resolution data with higher-resolution data. Aerotech’s Galvo Calibration File Converter (GCFC) application can be used to merge measurement data during the calibration process. The measurement resolutions of the tables to be merged do not have to match as GCFC will interpolate the correction values of the lower-resolution table to match those of the higher-resolution table. This application note will outline the procedures required to create new calibration tables and how to merge calibration tables for Aerotech’s Nmark SSaM.
