Kwihlabathi lemveliso echanekileyo kakhulu—apho ukunyamezelana kuncipha ngaphantsi kwe-5 microns kwaye ukugqitywa komphezulu kufikelela kumgangatho we-optical—izixhobo esixhomekeke kuzo kufuneka ziguquke ngaphaya kwesithethe. Kangangamashumi eminyaka, intsimbi kunye ne-granite zazilawula ibhentshi ye-metrology. Kodwa njengoko amashishini afana nezixhobo ze-semiconductor, i-aerospace optics, kunye nezixhobo ezincinci zonyango zingena kwiindawo apho nokuba ukushukuma kobushushu okanye ukuguguleka kwe-microscopic kungenisa impazamo engamkelekanga, udidi olutsha lwezixhobo zokubhekisa luyavela: ezo zenziwe kungengontsimbi okanye ngamatye, kodwa ngoo-ceramics bobuchwephesha obuphambili.
Apha eZHHIMG, sidlulele ngaphaya kokunikela njeUmlawuli oQondileyo weCeramicokanye iimveliso zeCeramic Square Ruler. Siphinda sichaze ukuba ingaba yintoni na i-straight edge—ngokudibanisa izixhobo ze-ceramic ezizinzileyo kakhulu kunye noyilo oluphambili, kuquka i-Custom Ceramic air floating ruler yethu entsha, isisombululo esisusa unxibelelwano loomatshini ngokupheleleyo ngelixa sinika ukuphindaphindwa kwinqanaba le-nanometer.
Kutheni i-ceramics? Impendulo iqala kwinqanaba le-molecular. Ngokungafaniyo nentsimbi—eyanda kakhulu ngobushushu—okanye i-granite—ethi, nangona izinze, ihlale inemingxuma kwaye ingafani—i-ceramics eyenziwe ngobunjineli efana ne-zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) kunye ne-silicon nitride zibonelela nge-porosity ephantse ibe yi-zero, ubunzima obungaqhelekanga (1400–1800 HV), kunye nee-coefficients zokwandisa ubushushu eziphantsi njenge-3–4 µm/m·°C. Oku kuthetha ukuba i-Ceramic Straight Edge evela kwi-ZHHIMG igcina i-geometry yayo kwiinguqu zobushushu eziya kuphazamisa izixhobo zesiqhelo ngee-microns ezininzi.
Kodwa izinto zodwa azanelanga. Okwahlukanisa iirula zethu zeseramikhi kukuchaneka kokwenziwa kwazo. Sisebenzisa ukugaywa kwedayimani, ukupolishwa kwe-sub-aperture, kunye nokuqinisekiswa kwe-laser interferometric kwigumbi lokucoca le-ISO Class 5, sifezekisa ukunyamezelana kokuthe tye okungcono kune-0.8 µm ngaphezulu kwe-500 mm—okuqinisekisiweyo kungekuphela nje ekuhanjisweni, kodwa kubhalwe kwiingxelo ezipheleleyo zokulinganisa ezilandelelwa ngokwemigangatho ye-NIST kunye ne-PTB.Umlawuli weSikwere seCeramicivavanywa ngokuma okuthe nkqo nge-elektroniki autocollimation, iqinisekisa ukuba ii-engile zibambeke ngaphakathi kwe-arc-second e-1 (≈0.5 µm deviation kwi-100 mm).
Ezi azizozinto ezicacileyo zethiyori. Zizinto ezisebenza ngokwenene kubathengi abangasakwaziyo ukuhlawula izivumelwano. Umthengisi wecandelo le-lithography ophambili we-EUV ngoku usebenzisa iCeramic Straight Ruler yethu kuphela ukulungelelanisa iifreyimu zenkxaso yesipili. “Iirula zentsimbi zigobile ngexesha lemijikelo emide yokuvezwa,” utshilo ingcali yabo yemetro. “Igranite ithathe amasuntswana. Inguqulelo yeceramic? Ibizinzile kangangeenyanga ezili-18—akukho mfuneko yokulungiswa kwakhona.”
Sekunjalo, nejometri egqibeleleyo inokonakala xa udibana. Tsala irula phezu komphezulu, kwaye usengozini yokukrweleka kancinci, ukuphazamiseka kwefilimu yeoyile, okanye ukuguqulwa kwe-elastic—ingakumbi kwiintsimbi ezithambileyo okanye kwi-optics epholisiweyo. Kulapho ubuchule be-ZHHIMG buqhubela phambili khona ngerula ephaphazelayo yomoya yeCustom Ceramic.
Le ayisiyo nje i-ceramic straight edge enemingxuma ebhoboziweyo kuyo. Yinkqubo ye-aerostatic eyenziwe ngokupheleleyo, eyilwe kusetyenziswa i-computational fluid dynamics ukuhambisa umoya ofanayo, o-laminar kulo lonke ubude berula. Xa icinezelwe ngumoya ococekileyo, owomileyo (okanye i-nitrogen kwiindawo ezinobuthathaka), irula idada kwii-microns ezi-5–10 ngaphezulu kwesixhobo sokusebenza—isusa unxibelelwano lomzimba ngelixa igcina ulungelelwano olugqibeleleyo. Isiphumo? Umlinganiselo wokwenyani wokungadibani kobuthe tyaba, ukuthe tye, okanye ukuqinisekiswa kokuphakama kwenyathelo, kunye nokuphindaphinda ukuya kuthi ga kwi-±0.2 µm.
Enye ilabhoratri ye-quantum computing eSwitzerland ngoku isebenzisa irula yomoya ephaphazelayo eyi-600-mm Custom Ceramic air floating ruler ukuhlola ii-superconducting chip carriers. “Naluphi na unxibelelwano—nokuba lune-stylus ethambileyo—luzisa uxinzelelo olutshintsha ukusebenza kwe-qubit,” ucacise watsho unjineli wabo wenkqubo. “Irula yomoya ephaphazelayo isinika isalathiso esisifunayo ngaphandle kokuchukumisa inxalenye. Ibe yinto ebalulekileyo kumsebenzi.”
Okwenza oku kube nokwenzeka kukudityaniswa okukhethekileyo kwe-ZHHIMG kwesayensi yezinto, umatshini wokuchaneka, kunye nobuchule be-metrology. Ngelixa ababoneleli abaninzi bephatha iiceramics njengezinto zokwakha, siziphucula njengezinto zokulinganisa. Uyilo lwethu lweCeramic Square Ruler luquka imiphetho exutyiweyo ukuthintela ukuqhekeka, imiqolo egqityiweyo ye-matte ukunciphisa ukukhanya okukhanyayo phantsi kokuhlolwa, kunye neempawu ezikhethiweyo ze-fiducial kwiinkqubo zokubona ezenzekelayo. Kwizicelo zegumbi lokucoca, iindawo zipolishwa ukuya kwi-Ra < 0.02 µm ukunciphisa ukunamathela kwamasuntswana.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba yonke into esetyenziswayo yahlukile, asikholelwa kwinto enye. Ngaba ufuna iCeramic Straight Edge eneendlela zokucoca ezifakwe ngaphakathi ukuze zibambe iiwafers ezincinci ngexesha lokuhlolwa? Sizakhile. Ngaba ufuna iirula yesikwereenemingxunya egqithayo ehambelana nencam yeprobe yakho yeCMM? Ugqibile. Ngaba ufuna irula yomoya ejikelezayo yeCeramic eneenzwa zoxinzelelo ezidityanisiweyo kunye nempendulo yokulinganisa yedijithali? Oko sele kukwivavanyo lwe-beta kunye neklayenti yeenqwelo moya yeTier-1.
Kuye kwalandela ukuqatshelwa kweshishini. Kwi-2025 Global Advanced Metrology Review, i-ZHHIMG yakhankanywa njengeyona nkampani iphela enikezela usapho olupheleleyo lwezixhobo zesalathiso seseramikhi eziqinisekisiweyo—kuquka iinguqulelo ezidadayo—ezinokuqinisekiswa okupheleleyo kwejometri kunye nokulandeleka kwedijithali. Kodwa okubaluleke ngakumbi, ukwamkelwa kuyakhawuleza: ngaphezulu kwama-60% ee-odolo zethu zesaramikhi ngoku zivela kumashishini awayekade ecinga ukuba ezi zixhobo “zigqithisile”—de bade balinganise umahluko.
Inkampani entsha yezixhobo zonyango evelisa izixhobo ze-neural implants itshintshele kwi-steel ukuya kwi-Ceramic Square Ruler yethu kwaye ibone isivuno sayo sokuqala sinyuka ngama-22%. “Isikwere esidala sishiye ii-micro-gouges kwiindawo ze-titanium,” utshilo umphathi wabo we-QA. “Asizange siqaphele de satshintsha. Ngoku, yonke into idlula kwiitshekhi ezibonakalayo nezinobukhulu kuvavanyo lokuqala.”
Ngoko ke njengoko uvavanya uphuculo lwakho olulandelayo lwe-metrology, zibuze: Ngaba i-straight edge yam yangoku yongeza ukungaqiniseki—okanye ukuyiphelisa?
Ukuba inkqubo yakho isebenza ngendlela yokuba ibonakale, impendulo isenokuba kwi-ceramics—hayi njengento entsha, kodwa njengento eyimfuneko. Kwa-ZHHIMG, asenzi nje kuphela izixhobo zeCeramic Straight Ruler, Ceramic Square Ruler, okanye zeCeramic Straight Edge. Siyila ukuzithemba kwi-micron nganye.
