High Performance Air Bearing Stage Capabilities & Solutions DynamYX® Datum™ Ultra-High Performance Stage Full throughput performance of the DynamYX Datum stage is realized when configured with a ceramic chuck. Ceramic chucks offer lower mass and improved flatness compared with metallic designs. An added benefit of using a ceramic chuck on a DynamYX stage is that the thermal expansion coefficients of the chuck and stage are matched which allows for the chuck to be directly mounted to the XY carriage. This direct mounting provides for the flattest and most thermally stable wafer surface possible...
