Wafer carrier with reticle template for marking reticle fields on a semiconductor wafer

A wafer carrier assembly comprising:

• a wafer carrier having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the wafer carrier including, on the first side:
• a circular recess configured to receive a semiconductor device wafer, and
• at least one cut-out arranged along the circumference of the circular recess;
• and
• a carrier cover having a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side, the carrier cover including, on the top side:
• a plurality of gridlines, the plurality of gridlines extending to edges of the carrier cover, and
• a plurality of reticle openings disposed outside the plurality of gridlines and extending through the carrier cover from the top side to the bottom side, respective subsets of the plurality of reticle openings arranged to have a respective common center, wherein a respective subset of the plurality of reticle openings is arranged at each intersection of the plurality of gridlines such that the respective common center of the respective subset of the plurality of reticle openings corresponds to a respective intersection of the plurality of gridlines.
