Abstract:
Various embodiments of aligning wafers are described herein. In one embodiment, a photolithography system aligns a wafer by averaging individual via locations. In particular, some embodiments of the present technology determine the center locations of individual vias on a wafer and average them together to obtain an average center location of the set of vias. Based on a comparison of the average center location to a desired center location, the present technology adjusts the wafer position. Additionally, in some embodiments, the present technology compares wafer via patterns to a template and adjusts the position of the wafer based on the comparison.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to perform the fine alignment procedure by determining the center location of the individual electrical features by detecting light intensity reflected from the wafer.
