Smartphones, TVs, washing machines and cars depend on the precise and complex control of electrical signals that semiconductors provide. Silicon wafers are a foundational material from which many semiconductor technologies are made. Part of the semiconductor manufacturing process includes etching microscopic, 3D patterns onto these silicon wafers to form electronic devices like transistors, capacitors and interconnects that are critical for the function of the manufactured microchip. The level of precision with which these electronic components are etched into the silicon directly impact the performance of the microchip, making the uniformity and accuracy of these etched features critical at the nanometer scale. Complex Waveform Requirements A major semiconductor equipment manufacturer was facing significant limitations with their equipment’s ability to support the manufacture of next generation chips. Their semiconductor manufacturing tools were deployed into many silicon wafer fabrication sites and their manufacturing customers were continuously coming up against the limitations of their systems, putting their market position and market share at risk. They needed to upgrade the simple signal generators in their current solution to waveform generators capable of delivering the complex waveforms necessary to precisely-control the microscopic piezo coils central to their unique etching process. To maintain and expand their customer base, they required a solution capable of: Precision Control : Their equipment needed to drive microscopic piezo coils at rates of 2,000-100,000 times per second, requiring advanced control capabilities with arbitrary waveform programming and thousands of sample points per period. Complex Waveform Requirements: Simple waveforms like sine, square and triangular signals were not sufficient for controlling the complex etching operations their customers required; they needed the capability to customize every single point within the waveforms controlling their piezo coils. High-Speed Synchronization: The waveform generator required tight coupling with oscilloscope measurements to synchronize digitized signal acquisition Global Deployment: The solution needed to integrate seamlessly with semiconductor manufacturing equipment deployed worldwide Customized Advanced AWG The global semiconductor equipment manufacturer approached Cyth Systems for help improving their etching capabilities. Cyth’s expertise developing complex, highly-synchronized control systems and custom waveform generator solutions enabled them to rapidly iterate on the customer’s existing solution to provide high-performance waveform generation, measurement, and control. The development process of the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) included three iterations: 1st generation: Replicate simple, existing waveform generation capabilities on NI PXI platform 2nd generation: Synchronize AWG pulses with oscilloscope measurements to ensure accurate digital signal data acquisition 3rd generation: Further refine synchronization between waveform pulses and oscilloscope measurements to enable the driving of piezo coils in the upper frequency ranges (up to 100,000 times per second) Left: 2nd Generation Arbitrary Waveform Generator, Right: 1st Waveform Generator. The AWG system was built to perform sophisticated waveform analysis, generation, and control without operator intervention: Collected waveforms, measured their length and characteristic shape Determined the optimal number of points required to accurately describe each waveform Set appropriate sampling rates based on waveform complexity Calculated the precise number of points needed to achieve target sample rates The equipment manufacturer required 1,000+ samples per millisecond (>1MS/s) to accurately characterize the waveforms to be generated; the samples were then upscaled to 200MS/s to ensure smooth signal quality as the waveform is output. The waveform generator was tightly coupled with an NI PXI oscilloscope in a closed-loop approach to enable real-time system optimization. The synchronization in the measurements of digitized signals ensured precise timing coordination between waveform output and measurement feedback. Graphs comparing the outputs of a simple waveform generator vs. an arbitrary waveform generator Leveraging the NI PXI platform with LabVIEW FPGA software, Cyth created a sophisticated Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) capable of supporting next-generation semiconductor equipment with dramatically improved high-speed and high-sample rate waveform control. For the semiconductor equipment manufacturer, the greatest differentiators of the NI platform were: Measurement integration: Synchronized waveform generation and oscilloscope measurement in a single platform Firmware flexibility: LabVIEW-based algorithms enable rapid parameter adjustments and optimization Hardware reliability: NI PXI platform provides industrial-grade reliability for 24/7 manufacturing operations Compact footprint: 4-slot PXI chassis delivers advanced capabilities in space-efficient design ​System PXI Card Specifications ​Use PXIe-1071 Chassis 4-Slot Chassis PXI Chassis NI PXI-5441 43 MHz, 100 MS/s AWG, 16-Bit, Onboard Signal Processing Arbitrary Waveform Generator PXIe-5105 60 MHz, 8-Channel, 12-Bit PXI Oscilloscope High Speed & High Sample Rate Waveform Measurement PXIe-8822 Embedded Controller – FPGA-Based I/O, 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor PXI Controller Data Logging & Control PXI-7852R Virtex-5 LX50 FPGA, 750 kS/s Data Logging & Control Sustainable Innovation The Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivered transformative capabilities that positioned the equipment manufacturer for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing leadership.

Ultra-high vacuum equipment manufacturer developed high-precision rotor balancing system in five weeks using the NI USB-9234 DSA, LabVIEW, and the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite. *As Featured on NI.com Original Author: Gerard Johns, Edwards Edited by: Cyth Systems Edwards turbomolecular pump CAD rendering Project Summary Ultra-high vacuum equipment manufacturer developed high-precision rotor balancing system in five weeks using the NI USB-9234 DSA, LabVIEW, and the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite. System Features & Components Integrated IEPE signal conditioning of NI USB-9234 enabled direct accelerometer connection without external amplification NI sound and vibration measurement software included signal reconstruction and analysis functions that facilitated quick implementation of custom processing algorithms LabVIEW software enabled rapid prototyping , automated code generation, and implementation of parallel processing architecture Parallel processing architecture balancing of two pumps simultaneously per station enhanced balancing operation throughput capability through Interactive operator guidance tools translating phase angle and magnitude calculations into correction mass assembly instructions Outcomes Complete system development from concept to production deployment in under five weeks Dynamic input range exceeding all commercially available balancing systems Parallel balancing and correction operations per NI USB-9234 increased production throughput at a fraction of the cost of a typical commercial system Class-leading vibration measurement performance enabled successful product launch  Technology at-a-glance Hardware: NI USB-9234 Dynamic Signal Analyzer (obsolete  – comparable NI C Series module NI-9234 ) Accelerometers Digital photo sensor for rotor position detection Software: NI LabVIEW NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite (obsolete – replaced by LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit) Ultra-High Vacuum Pumps Laboratory mass spectrometers and electron microscopes require ultra-high vacuum environments where even minimal vibration compromises measurement accuracy. Edwards, a leading manufacturer of vacuum equipment serving semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, faced a critical challenge when developing their nEXT Turbo Molecular Vacuum Pump. They wanted to achieve world-class vibration performance, which required rotor balancing tolerances that were impossible to measure with existing solutions available on the market. Edwards needed a custom balancing system that could measure vibration with unprecedented precision for rotors spinning at high velocities. Measurement & Data Analysis Challenges The nEXT Turbo Molecular Vacuum Pump utilized a turbine rotor spinning at 60,000 rpm, with blade-tip velocities approaching 90% of the speed of sound. These unparalleled capabilities of this technology presented a few critical manufacturing challenges for Edwards. Inaccessible measurement location:  Rotor assembly contained within sealed pump housing prevented direct vibration measurement at the source, deviating from standard balancing methodology Manual calculatios:  Off-the-shelf balancing solutions required operators to perform manual calculations and balancing compensation, which greatly slowed production and increased the potential for human error Compressed timeline:  Product launch was weeks; Edwards needed to take their concept through validation to production deployment relying only on their internal teams for development Measurement precision:  Dynamic input range required for the detection of minute vibrations and high rotor speeds exceeded all commercially available rotor balancing solutions Due to technical and timeline constraints, Edwards knew they could not rely on the conventional balancing solutions commercially available. They decided to leverage an NI-based technology stack to accelerate development while staying within budget. Left: OEM vacuum pumps by Edwards, Right: the inside fan blades of a turbomolecular pump. High Measurement Accuracy Edwards' engineering team selected the a few key pieces of NI platform to prototype and deploy a custom balancing solution. Core Platform Selection: NI LabVIEW software:  Graphical programming environment enabled rapid prototyping and robust application development into production environments NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite: Domain-specific libraries with signal reconstruction functions and vibration analysis algorithms NI USB-9234 dynamic signal analyzer:  Precision measurement hardware with 51.2 kS/s sample rate per channel, 24-bit resolution, and 102 dB dynamic input range Integrated IEPE signal conditioning:  Direct connection from USB-9234 to the accelerometer simplified system architecture and reduced potential signal degradation points This development approach enabled Edwards to accelerate prototyping and application development without sacrificing the high measurement accuracy critical for this application. Rapid Prototyping Through Production The NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite signal reconstruction functions enabled interfacing a digital photo sensor with analog inputs for rotor position detection. An accelerometer attached to the pump body captured vibration data. The Sound and Vibration Assistant automatically generated LabVIEW code from the prototype configuration, eliminating weeks of manual coding and providing a validated foundation for production application development. Edwards built production-ready features on the LabVIEW foundation: Automated calibration functions to maintain measurement accuracy across multiple balancing rigs Proprietary calculation algorithms for measuring pump imbalance through the housing rather than directly at the tip of the rotor Interactive operator guidance tools to translate phase angle and magnitude calculations into straightforward instructions for rotor balancing Using LabVIEW's parallel processing architecture, Edwards configured the USB-9234's remaining channels to balance two pumps simultaneously. This effectively doubled production capacity from a single hardware platform at a fraction of the cost of purchasing two commercial systems. In less than five weeks, Edwards took their proof of concept through validation and into production deployment. Increased Production & Enhanced Sustainability Edwards’ augmented technical capabilities far exceeded commercially available balancing equipment. The key technical features enabled by the NI USB-9234 included: Detection and correct of vibrations in rotors spinning at 60,000 rpm 102 dB dynamic input range enhanced measurement flexibility and enabled quick accommodation for variations in pump models and rotor configurations Leveraging the NI technology stack, Edwards increased their rotor balancing operation efficiency: Cost Savings: Parallel, dual-pump rotor balancing capability delivered two complete balancing rigs at fraction of the price for a single commercial system Improved cycle time: Automated imbalance calculations and operator guidance tools reduced balancing cycle time and training requirements Operational control: Internal solution support eliminated vendor dependencies and enabled direct implementation of system enhancements as product line expanded Platform standardization: LabVIEW and NI hardware as accepted standards across Edwards’ production test, global service centers, and R&D laboratories, resulting in reduced training complexity and enhanced knowledge transfer In five weeks, Edwards used LabVIEW, the USB-9234, and the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite to rapidly develop a custom solution for high-speed rotor balancing that outperformed commercial alternatives.
