  • Publication number: 20090153832
    Abstract: An apparatus and method effectively isolate vibrations in a lithography machine. The apparatus and method include a first control for actively reducing the vibrations in a first frequency range and a second control for actively reducing the vibrations in a second frequency range. The first control further includes a first actuator such as a force actuator and a static reference object with which relatively low-frequency vibrations are reduced. The second control further includes a second actuator such as a Piezo actuator and an air spring in which relatively high-frequency vibrations are reduced. The apparatus and method are applied to substantially prevent the vibrations on the floor from traveling to the mask stage in one embodiment.
