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 18):
The system of  claim 16 , wherein the means for determining the offset of the average center location of the individual electrical features comprise:\n means for determining the center location of the plurality of electrical features based on shape or image pattern recognition or detecting intensity of light reflected from the plurality of electrical features.
