  • Patent number: 10112258
    Abstract: This disclosure provides apparatus and methods for scribing a substrate. In one aspect, an apparatus includes optics for focusing a scribe beam onto a substrate and a beam focus adjustment mechanism for adjusting the optics. A triangulation-based distance sensor determines a distance between the triangulation-based distance sensor and the substrate, with the triangulation-based distance sensor being positioned at a location offset from the scribe beam. Reflecting elements are positioned to reflect an incident beam from the triangulation-based distance sensor's source to the substrate and then back to the triangulation-based distance sensor's detector. The beam focus adjustment mechanism adjusts the optics based on the distance between the triangulation-based distance sensor and the substrate so that the scribe beam is focused at a desired position on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070085027
    Abstract: Improved systems, apparatus, and methods for detecting positions of moving stages and accurately compensating position error during operation (in “real time”) are provided. For some embodiments, rather than rely on two dimensional position measurements, measurements in at least three dimensions may be taken allowing compensation for pitch and roll and, therefore, more accurate position measurements. Further, by including a measurement of a beam column, compensation for movement of the beam may be performed.
