  • Patent number: 11531279
    Abstract: A method for correcting misalignments is provided. An alignment for each device of a group of devices mounted on a substrate is determined. An alignment error for the group of devices mounted on the substrate is determined based on the respective alignment for each device. One or more correction factors are calculated based on the alignment error. The alignment error is corrected based on the one or more correction factors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2022
    Assignee: Onto Innovation Inc.

  • Publication number: 20050264777
    Abstract: A machine and method for high speed production of circuit patterns on silicon wafers or similar substrates may be used for applications including printing Integrated Circuit (IC) packaging patterns onto wafers prior to separating IC chips. Projection camera(s) simultaneously project image(s) onto substrate(s) carried on an X, Y, ? stage. The projection camera(s) may include independent alignment systems, light sources, and control of focus, image placement, image size, and dose. In one embodiment, each camera inlcudes a 6-axis reticle chuck that moves a reticle to correct image-to-substrate overlay errors. In-stage metrology sensors and machine software establish and maintain the correct relationship among the machine's coordinate systems. Thus, two or more projection cameras can print simultaneously even when substrates are slightly misplaced on the X, Y, ? stage.
