Conclusion

Vibration measurements were performed at two positions — the installation floor and the top surface of the DVIA-ML1000 active vibration isolation system — and evaluated against the criteria defined in Section 9.

At the floor level, all three axes (vertical, left-to-right, and front-to-back) exceeded the specified criteria, indicating that the ambient vibration environment at the installation site is not adequate to support the operating requirements of the equipment.

A second tuning iteration was carried out to optimize the control parameters for the installed configuration. Following this adjustment, all three axes measured on the isolation system satisfy the specified criteria, confirming that the DVIA-ML1000 provides sufficient attenuation to bring the equipment environment into compliance.

It should be noted that a localized response was observed in the 9–10 Hz range on the isolated surface. Based on its frequency characteristics and axis behavior, this response is presumed to originate from mechanical interference between the equipment and adjacent structures or connected utilities rather than from the isolation system itself.

Although the measured levels remain within the specified criteria and no impact on equipment operation is expected, it is recommended that the routing of connected lines and any physical contact points around the isolated platform be reviewed to eliminate the potential transmission path.

Detail Size²μm
Workshop (ISO)Distinctly perceptible vibration. Appropriate to workshops and non-sensitive areas.800 (32,000)N/A
Office (ISO)Perceptible vibration. Appropriate to offices and non-sensitive areas.400 (16,000)N/A
Residential Area (ISO)Barely perceptible vibration. Appropriate to sleep areas in most instances. Usually adequate for computer equipment, hospital recovery rooms, semiconductor probe test equipment, and microscopes less than 40x.200 (8,000)75
Operating Theatre (ISO)Vibration not perceptible. Suitable in most instances for surgical suites, microscopes to 100x and for other equipment of low sensitivity.100 (4,000)25
VC-AAdequate in most instances for optical microscopes to 400x, microbalances, optical balances, proximity and projection aligners, etc.50 (2,000)8
VC-BAppropriate for inspection and lithography equipment (including steppers) to 3μm line widths.25 (1,000)3
VC-CAppropriate standard for optical microscopes to 1000x, lithography and inspection equipment (including moderately sensitive electron microscopes) to 1μm detail size. TFT-LCD stepper/scanner processes.12.5 (500)1-3
VC-DSuitable in most instances for demanding equipment, including many electron microscopes (SEMs and TEMs) and E-Beam systems.6.25 (250)0.1-0.3
VC-EA challenging criterion to achieve. Assumed to be adequate for the most demanding of sensitive systems including long path, laser-based, small target systems, E-Beam lithography systems working at nanometer scales, and other systems requiring extraordinary dynamic stability.3.12 (125)<0.1
VC-FAppropriate for extremely quiet research spaces; generally difficult to achieve in most instances, especially cleanrooms. Not recommended for use as a design criterion, only for evaluation.1.56 (62.5)N/A
VC-GAppropriate for extremely quiet research spaces; generally difficult to achieve in most instances, especially cleanrooms. Not recommended for use as a design criterion, only for evaluation.0.78 (31.3)N/A

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 not relevant 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.
