Abstract
A wafer alignment system includes a wafer sensor including a wafer substrate and a phase change material layer provided on the wafer substrate, a support member to support and heat the wafer sensor, a transfer device to transfer the wafer sensor to the support member, and a measurement device to analyze crystal information of the phase change material layer of the wafer sensor and control the transfer device.
Claims20
A wafer alignment system comprising:
- a wafer sensor comprising a wafer substrate and a phase change material layer provided on the wafer substrate;
- a support member configured to support the wafer sensor and heat the wafer sensor;
- and
- a transfer device configured to transfer the wafer sensor to the support member.

A wafer alignment system comprising:
- a wafer sensor comprising a wafer substrate, a first phase change material pattern provided on the wafer substrate, and a second phase change material pattern, the first phase change material pattern comprising a plurality of first phase change material portions and the second phase change material pattern comprising a plurality of second phase change materials;
- a support member configured to support the wafer sensor and heat the wafer sensor;
- and
- a transfer device configured to transfer the wafer sensor to the support member.
1 more element
A wafer alignment method comprising:
- loading a wafer sensor onto a support member, the wafer sensor including a wafer substrate and a phase change material layer;
- heating, by the support member, the phase change material layer to a temperature equal to or greater than a crystallization temperature of the phase change material layer;
- causing a phase change in a portion of the phase change material layer contacting the support member based on the heating by the support member;
- and
- unloading the wafer sensor from the support member.
