抄録

<jats:p>Recently precise positioning devices with low outgassing rates have been required for production systems of very large scale integrated circuits, surface analysis systems, and scanning tunneling microscopes in ultrahigh vacuum. A bakable XYθ three-axis positioning table using a unique positioning mechanism utilizing friction and inertial forces caused by rapid deformations of piezoelectric elements was developed. The table has a hexagonal shape of 120 mm in diameter and is mainly made of aluminum alloys with an EX-process. The table has three feet with an Si3N4 ball on each bottom side and set on a plate made of Pyrex glass. The table was able to operate in an ultrahigh vacuum environment of the order of 10−12 Torr.</jats:p>
