Abstract:
In an apparatus and method for multi mask alignment, a carrier is provided that includes apertures therethrough. For each aperture, a combination frame and shadow mask that includes alignment features is positioned on spacers supported by the carrier with the shadow mask of the combination in coarse alignment with the aperture. Next, each combination frame and shadow mask is moved to a position spaced from the spacers whereupon the alignment system, under the control of a controller, individually aligns each combination frame and shadow mask to align the alignment features of the combination with reference alignment features associated with the combination. Each combination frame and shadow mask is then returned to a position on the spacers whereafter each combination frame and shadow mask is secured to the carrier. In an example, all of the combination frames and shadow masks can be aligned simultaneously.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein:\n an alignment substrate, including the reference alignment features, is positioned to a side of the combination frame and shadow mask opposite the carrier, wherein the alignment features and the reference alignment features include a first plurality of holes and a second plurality of holes, respectively; and step (d) includes the controller controlling the alignment system to individually align each combination frame and shadow mask until a predetermined amount of light passes through the first plurality of holes of said combination and the second plurality of holes associated with said combination in alignment with said first plurality of holes of said combination.
