Conclusion

As a result of tuning the vibration isolation platform below the TESCAN FIB-SEM equipment in the ASE Paju microscopy laboratory and performing the vibration measurement, all axes met the reference specification and achieved a "PASS" rating. The measurement results showed that the vertical axis improved from VC-B to VC-E, the left-to-right axis from VC-E to VC-G, and the front-to-back axis from VC-B to VC-F. After tuning, the equipment image performance was verified and no abnormalities were finally confirmed, establishing an optimal vibration environment for high-precision analysis.

Reference

The table below classifies vibration levels based on IEST-RP-CC012.2.

Criterion CurveDescriptionAmplitude (μm/s) (μin/s)Detail Size (μm)
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

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.
