[Libre-silicon-devel] Maskless lithography

[David Lanzendörfer]

Hi all
I just woke up from bed again with the idea to use use laser triangulation for 
the distance measurement, since there's an inexpensive solution already for 
Arduino:

The internal ADC has a resolution of 16 bits, which should be sufficient to 
resolve the small distance a table for a 2 inch wafer has to travel.

Cheers
David
