In this paper, a new field of metrology called 'precision nanometrology' is presented. The 'precision nanometrology' is the result of evolutions of the traditional 'precision metrology' and the new 'nanometrology'. 'Precision nanometrology' is defined here as the science of dimensional measurement and motion measurement with 100 nm to 0.1 nm resolution/uncertainty within a range of micrometer to meter. The definition is based on the fact that nanometrology in nanoengineering and the precision industries, such as semiconductor industry, precision machine tool industry, precision instrument industry, is not only concerned with the measurement resolution and/or uncertainty but also the range of measurement. It should also be pointed out that most of the measurement objects in nanoengineering have dimensions larger than 1 micrometer. After explaining the definition of precision nanometrology, the paper provides several examples showing the critical roles of precision nanometrology in precision nanosystems, including nanometrology system, nanofabrication system, and nanomechatronics system.

This paper presents the structural design and finite element analysis of precision stage based on a double triangular parallel mechanism for precision positioning and large force generation. Recently, with the acceleration of miniaturization in mobile appliances, the demand for precision aligning and bonding has been increasing. Such processes require both high precision and large force generation, which are difficult to obtain simultaneously. This study aimed at constructing a precision stage that has high precision, long stroke, and large force generation. Actuators were tactically placed and flexure hinges were carefully designed by optimization process to constitute a parallel mechanism with a double triangular configuration. The three actuators in the inner triangle function as an in-plane positioner, whereas the three actuators in the outer triangle as an out-of-plane positioner. Finite element analysis is performed to validate load carrying performances of the developed precision stage.

Computer-generated holography requires much more computation costs and memory space rather than image processing. We implemented the diffraction calculation with low-precision and mixed-precision floating point numbers and compared the processing time and quality of the hologram with various precision. We compared diffraction quality with double, single and bfloat16 precision. bfloat16 shows 5.94x and 1.52x times faster performance than double precision and single precision. Also, bfloat16 shows lower PSNR and SSIM and higher MSE than other precision. However, there is no significant effect on reconstructed images. These results show low precision, like bfloat16, can be utilized for computer-generated holography.

Characterization of an ultra precision grinding plate for GMR head manufacturing is performed by measuring frictional forces between the grinding plate and the advanced ceramic Two kinds of methods of producing the precision grinding plates are presented: texturing and micro-channeling. Texturing is effective in terms of production time but micro-channeling excels in quality control. It is found that the frictional coefficient of a precision grinding plate decreases as the impregnation of diamond grain onto the precision-grinding plate progresses, and remains unchanged once the impregnation process is successfully completed, even after 100 revolutions of the precision-grinding plate against the advanced ceramic under 40 N of normal force. Therefore, the measurement of the frictional coefficient can replace costly and time-consuming process of estimating the level of impregnation of diamond grain on the precision-grinding plate, which has been performed by using scanning electron microscope, and be employed as an index to determine the level of impregnation of diamond grain.

A study on the manufacturing of High Precision Linear Scalr using He-Ne Laser interference Of late, along with the advancement of precision machining technology, the requirement of super precision measurement increases as time goes on, and the accuracy of standard scale which is a basis of precision measurement has been cognized as a criterion of industrial development in a nationl. In this paper, we described on technology by which we could carve scale lines thru optical method under the condition of laboratory by using the coherence of He-Ne two-mode stabilized laser and in turn, put it to practical use as linear scale for the measurement of length. Hence in this research in the case of setting scale interval to 20 ${\mu}m$, we employed super precision scale-carving device associated with Ar laser and acousto optic modulator in lieu of flashing lamp scale-carving device, and we obtained as experimental result superior linear scales carved within the accuracy of ${\pm}$0.3${\mu}m$.

A dual-mode multiplier (DMM) that performs single- and double-precision multiplications has been designed. An algorithm for efficiently implementing double-precision multiplication with a single-precision multiplier was proposed, which is based on partitioning double-precision multiplication into four single-precision sub-multiplications and computing them with sequential accumulations. When compared with conventional double-precision multipliers, our approach reduces the hardware complexity by about one third resulting in small silicon area and low-power dissipation at the expense of increased latency and throughput cycles.

n the ballscrew slide system the ~najor problems in accomplishing the high-speed and high-precision are the friction between elements and the decrease of axial stiffness. Especially the friction on the guide have a bad effect on the precision of slidlng. Furthermore stick-slip occur when the low stiffness of slide system. The sticli-slip have a bad influence on the precision. In this research, the affection of stick-slip friction to the precision of the slide system is studied and the possible solution of the precision is proixjsed.
