Abstract
The increasing demands on throughput and accuracy of semiconductor manufacturing equipment necessitates accurate feedforward motion control that includes compensation of input nonlinearities. The aim of this paper is to develop a data-driven feedforward approach consisting of a Wiener feedforward, i.e., linear parameterization with an output nonlinearity, to achieve high tracking accuracy and task flexibility for a class of Hammerstein systems. The developed approach exploits iterative learning control to learn a feedforward signal from data that minimizes the error and utilizes a control-relevant cost function to learn the parameters of a Wiener feedforward parameterization. Experimental validation on a wirebonder shows that the developed approach enables high tracking accuracy and task flexibility.
