a data processing system that processes the sensor signal;
an electronics module that moves independently of the data processing system, the electronics module receiving the sensor signal data from the instrumented substrate, the electronics module subsequently passing the sensor signal data to the data processing system, wherein the electronics module is of a size same as that of the instrumented substrate; and
a physically continuous flexible connection between the electronics module and the instrumented substrate, the connection allowing relative lateral displacement of the electronics module with respect to the instrumented substrate between at least a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the electronics module is above or below the substrate, and in the second position the electronics module and the substrate are laterally displaced from each other such that none of any portion of the electronics module overlaps with the substrate.
2. The process condition sensing wafer and data analysis system of claim 1 wherein the electronics module has a memory unit and the sensor signal data are stored in the memory unit prior to the electronics module passing the sensor signal data to the data processing system.
sending the sensor signal data from the sensors to an electronics module displaced from the substrate, wherein the electronics module is of a size same as that of the substrate; and
sending the sensor signal data from the electronics modules to a data processing system, the electronics module moving separately from the data processing system, and wherein the electronics module is configured to laterally displace from the substrate via a physically continuous flexible connection between at least a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the electronics module is above or below the substrate, and in the second position the electronics module and the substrate are laterally displaced from each other such that none of any portion of the electronics module overlaps with the substrate.
