Tracking Nanoposition Advances
What works in the microworld very often doesn’t work in nanopositioning applications such as nano-imprinting, scanning microscopy, microlithography and automated alignment. End users will often need to rethink positioning strategies, including the way they define basic device parameters such as resolution.When the term "nanopositioning" was coined, some companies advertised open-loop, stepper-driven leadscrew devices as nanopositioners. Although such simple drives have since been...
