Conclusion
The vibration measurements confirm that the DVIA-ML1000 active vibration isolation system provides effective attenuation across the frequency bands where meaningful floor vibration is present.
In the horizontal (X and Y) axes, the ambient floor vibration in the 1–2 Hz range is exceptionally low, approaching the noise floor of the measurement system. As a result, the transmissibility data in this narrow band indicates a slight amplification relative to the floor input. It should be noted, however, that the absolute vibration amplitude in this region remains on the order of tens of nanometers, which is well below the threshold at which any measurable effect on the imaging or lithography performance of the RAITH PIONEER SEM would be expected. This behavior is characteristic of active isolation systems operating in an environment where the input excitation is near the measurement resolution limit, and it does not represent a deficiency in isolation performance.
Across all frequency bands in which identifiable floor vibration is present, the system demonstrates clear and consistent attenuation, confirming that the installation meets the intended isolation objectives. The site is therefore considered suitable for the operation of the installed equipment.

Reference
The table below classifies vibration levels based on IEST-RP-CC012.2.
Notes:
1. As measured in one-third octave bands of frequency over the frequency 8 to 80 Hz (VC-A and VC-B) or 1 to 80 Hz (VC-C through VC-G).
2. The detail size refers to the width in the case of microelectronics fabrication, the particle (cell) size in the case of medical and pharmaceutical research, etc. It is to imaging associated with probe technologies, AFMs, and nanotechnology.
The information given in this table is for guidance only. In most instances, it is recommended that the advice of someone knowledgeable about applications and vibration requirements of the equipment and processes be sought.
