Abstract:In the measurement and calibration of micro-nano devices, high accuracy measurement of micro stage is of great importance. White light interference method of vertical scanning presents the characteristics of noncontact, high accuracy and high speed, thus a white light interference micro measuring system was built. Based on phase shift interference theory, the relative space height information of the micro stage was demodulated. By means of median filtering and interval difference, the left and right edges of steps were identified effectively, and the interference caused by noise was reduced. The testing software system in the form of WPF was written in C# language, and many experiments were carried out on standard microscopic steps. Experimental results show that the average deviation of this scheme is stable within 2nm, and the repeatability accuracy is better than 0.5%.
