Ezweni lokukhiqiza okunembe kakhulu—lapho ukubekezelelana kuncipha khona ngaphansi kwama-micron ama-5 futhi ukuqedwa kobuso kusondela ekhwalithini yokukhanya—amathuluzi esithembele kuwo kumele aguquke ngale kwesiko. Sekungamashumi eminyaka, insimbi ne-granite kubusa ibhentshi le-metrology. Kodwa njengoba izimboni ezifana nemishini ye-semiconductor, i-aerospace optics, kanye namadivayisi amancane ezokwelapha zingena ezindaweni lapho ngisho nokushisa noma ukuguguleka okuncane kungenisa khona iphutha elingamukeleki, kuvela uhlobo olusha lwamathuluzi okubhekisela: lawo enziwe hhayi ngensimbi noma ngetshe, kodwa ngobumba obuthuthukisiwe bobuchwepheshe.
Kwa-ZHHIMG, sidlulele ngale kokunikeza njeUmbusi Oqondile We-Ceramicnoma imikhiqizo ye-Ceramic Square Ruler. Sichaza kabusha ukuthi unqenqema oluqondile lungaba yini—ngokuhlanganisa izinto ze-ceramic ezizinzile kakhulu nomklamo osezingeni eliphezulu, kufaka phakathi i-Custom Ceramic air floating ruler yethu entsha, isisombululo esiqeda ukuthintana komshini ngokuphelele ngenkathi sinikeza ukuphindaphindwa kwezinga le-nanometer.
Kungani kwenziwa nge-ceramics? Impendulo iqala ezingeni lama-molecule. Ngokungafani nensimbi—ekhula kakhulu ngokushisa—noma i-granite—okuyinto, naphezu kokuqina kwayo, ehlala inezimbobo futhi ingafani—i-ceramics eyenziwe ngobunjiniyela njenge-zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) kanye ne-silicon nitride inikeza i-porosity ecishe ibe yi-zero, ubulukhuni obungavamile (1400–1800 HV), kanye nama-coefficients okwandisa ukushisa aphansi njengo-3–4 µm/m·°C. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-Ceramic Straight Edge evela ku-ZHHIMG igcina i-geometry yayo kuzo zonke izinguquko zokushisa ezingaphazamisa amathuluzi avamile ngama-microns amaningana.
Kodwa izinto zodwa azanele. Okuhlukanisa ngempela ama-ruler ethu e-ceramic ukunemba kokwenziwa kwawo. Sisebenzisa ukugaya idayimane, ukupholisha okungaphansi kwe-aperture, kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwe-laser interferometric kumagumbi okuhlanza e-ISO Class 5, sifinyelela ukubekezelelana kokuqonda okungcono kune-0.8 µm ngaphezu kwama-500 mm—okuqinisekiswe hhayi nje ekulethweni, kodwa okubhalwe emibikweni ephelele yokulinganisa elandelwa amazinga e-NIST kanye ne-PTB.Umlawuli Wesikwele Se-Ceramicihlolwa ngokuma okuqondile nge-autocollimation kagesi, iqinisekisa ukuthi ama-engeli agcinwe ngaphakathi kwe-arc-second eyi-1 (≈0.5 µm deviation ku-100 mm).
Lokhu akuzona izincazelo zemibono. Kuyiqiniso lokusebenza kwamakhasimende angasakwazi ukukhokhela ukuvumelana. Umhlinzeki wezingxenye ze-lithography ohamba phambili we-EUV manje usebenzisa i-Ceramic Straight Ruler yethu kuphela ukuze aqondise ozimele bokusekela isibuko. “Ama-ruler ensimbi aguquguquka ngesikhathi sokuvezwa isikhathi eside,” kusho isazi sabo se-metro esiholayo. “I-Granite ithathe izinhlayiya. Inguqulo ye-ceramic? Ihlale izinzile izinyanga ezingu-18—akudingeki ukulungiswa kabusha.”
Kodwa ngisho ne-geometry ephelele ingonakalisa ukuxhumana. Hudula irula phezu kwendawo, futhi usengozini yokuklwebheka okuncane, ukuphazamiseka kwefilimu kawoyela, noma ukuguqulwa kwe-elastic—ikakhulukazi ezinsimbini ezithambile noma kuma-optics acwebezelayo. Yilapho ukusungula izinto ezintsha kwe-ZHHIMG kuqhubekela phambili ngerula elintantayo lomoya le-Custom Ceramic.
Lokhu akuyona nje i-ceramic straight edge enemigodi ebhoboziwe kuyo. Kuyisistimu ye-aerostatic eklanywe ngokugcwele, eyenzelwe kusetshenziswa i-computational fluid dynamics ukuze kunikezwe ukuhamba komoya okufanayo, okune-laminar kulo lonke ubude bombusi. Uma icindezelwe ngomoya ohlanzekile, owomile (noma i-nitrogen ezindaweni ezibucayi), umbusi untanta ama-micron angu-5-10 ngaphezu kwento yokusebenza—ukususa ukuthintana ngokomzimba ngenkathi ugcina ukuhambisana okuphelele. Umphumela? Ukulinganisa kwangempela okungathintani kokuqina, ukunemba, noma ukuqinisekiswa kokuphakama kwesinyathelo, kanye nokuphindaphinda okufika ku-±0.2 µm.
Ilabhorethri eyodwa ye-quantum computing eSwitzerland manje isebenzisa i-Custom Ceramic air floating ruler engu-600 mm ukuhlola abathwali be-superconducting chip. “Noma yikuphi ukuxhumana—ngisho ne-stylus ethambile—kwethula ukucindezeleka okushintsha ukusebenza kwe-qubit,” kuchaza unjiniyela wabo wenqubo. “I-ceramic ruler efloating air isinika inkomba esiyidingayo ngaphandle kokuthinta ingxenye. Sekuyiyona ebalulekile emsebenzini.”
Okwenza lokhu kwenzeke ukuhlanganiswa okuyingqayizivele kwe-ZHHIMG kwesayensi yezinto zokwakha, imishini yokunemba, kanye nobuchwepheshe be-metrology. Ngenkathi abahlinzeki abaningi bephatha izinto zobumba njengezingxenye zesakhiwo, sizilungiselela njengezinto zokulinganisa. Imiklamo yethu ye-Ceramic Square Ruler ifaka imiphetho ehlanganisiwe ukuvimbela ukuqhekeka, izinhluthu eziqediwe ngombala oluhlaza ukuze kuncishiswe ukukhanya ngaphansi kokuhlolwa, kanye nezimpawu zokuzikhethela zezinhlelo zokubona ezenzakalelayo. Ngezinhlelo zokusebenza zegumbi lokuhlanza, izindawo zipholishwa zibe yi-Ra < 0.02 µm ukuze kuncishiswe ukunamathela kwezinhlayiya.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi yonke into ihlukile, asikholelwa ekutheni yonke into ifanelana nosayizi owodwa. Udinga i-Ceramic Straight Edge eneziteshi ze-vacuum ezifakiwe ukuze ubambe ama-wafer amancane ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa? Siwakhile. Udinga i-irula yesikweleunezimbobo zokungena eziqondiswe encazelweni yakho ye-CMM probe? Usuqedile. Ufuna irula elintantayo lomoya le-Ceramic elenziwe ngokwezifiso elinezinzwa zokucindezela ezihlanganisiwe kanye nempendulo yokulinganisa yedijithali? Lokho sekuvele kusesivivinyweni se-beta neklayenti lezindiza le-Tier-1.
Kulandelwe ukuqashelwa kwemboni. Ku-2025 Global Advanced Metrology Review, i-ZHHIMG yacashunwa njengenkampani kuphela enikeza umndeni ophelele wamathuluzi okubhekisela e-ceramic aqinisekisiwe—kufaka phakathi izinhlobo ezintantayo—ngokuqinisekiswa okugcwele kwejometri kanye nokulandelela kwedijithali. Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu, ukwamukelwa kuyashesha: ama-oda ethu e-ceramic ruler angaphezu kuka-60% manje avela ezimbonini ezazicabanga ukuthi amathuluzi anjalo “angaphezu kwamandla”—kwaze kwaba yilapho zilinganisa umehluko.
Inkampani entsha yezokwelapha ekhiqiza izimila ze-neural ishintshele kusuka ensimbini yaya ku-Ceramic Square Ruler yethu futhi yabona isivuno sayo sokuqala sikhuphuka ngo-22%. “Isikwele esidala sishiye ama-micro-gouges ezindlini ze-titanium,” kusho umphathi wabo we-QA. “Asizange sikuqaphele kwaze kwaba yilapho sishintsha. Manje, yonke ingxenye idlula ekuhlolweni okubonakalayo nobukhulu ekuzameni kokuqala.”
Ngakho-ke njengoba uhlola ukuthuthukiswa kwakho okulandelayo kwe-metrology, zibuze: Ingabe i-straight edge yami yamanje ingeza ukungaqiniseki—noma ikuqede?
Uma inqubo yakho isebenza kahle kakhulu, impendulo ingase ibe sezinto zobumba—hhayi njengento entsha, kodwa njengesidingo. Kwa-ZHHIMG, asenzi nje kuphela amathuluzi e-Ceramic Straight Ruler, Ceramic Square Ruler, noma e-Ceramic Straight Edge. Sithuthukisa ukuzethemba kuwo wonke ama-micron.
