DVIF Series: Foundation Vibration Isolation Systems

DVIF foundation isolation platform

The DVIF series is a foundation vibration isolation platform designed to isolate advanced, sophisticated tools in semiconductor fabrication plants from vibrations and high forces transmitted to the platform from dynamic stage operations. 

During the production of electrical or photonic integrated circuits, the equipment is extremely sensitive to low-frequency vibrations caused by motorised stages involved in the wafer fabrication processes. Most instruments have strict environmental requirements that must be met to avoid any reduction in system throughput or overlay performance. Therefore, these tools must be rigidly anchored to the structural sub-floor of the building and separated from access floors causing significant vibrations. The structure of the supports is made of extremely rigid steel and the four corners of the supports are filled with concrete to increase the platform’s stability, rigidity, and stiffness.

The platform can be customised for a wide range of cleanroom processes and applications such as:

  • Scanning Electron Microscopy
  • Transmission Electron Microscopy
  • Spectrometry Instruments
  • Metrology Tools
