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 ㎚ to 0.1 ㎚ 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 I micrometer. After explaining the definition of precision nanometrology, the paper provides several examples showing the critical roles of precision nanometrologv in precision nanosystems, including nanometrology system, nanofabrication system, and nanomechatronics system.
