Abstract: An inkjet printing system and method for processing wafers in a high volume are disclosed. The inkjet printing system includes a chuck on which a wafer can be placed and an inkjet printing head with at least one nozzle. Each chuck is associated with a single camera. Each chuck includes a 2-dimensional visual reference. An electronic controller assembly is configured to take a single image containing the wafer edge and the 2-dimensional visual reference each instance a wafer has been placed on a chuck. For each image, the position of the chuck relative to the camera and the position of the wafer relative to the camera are determined. Subsequently, the wafer position relative to the chuck is calculated and based on that the firing of the at least one nozzle is timed and the movement of the printing motion assembly is controlled so that the liquid drops are accurately positioned on the wafer.

Abstract: Inkjet printing system for processing substrates including a chuck for placement of a substrate and an inkjet printing head with at least one nozzle. Each chuck has chuck reference marks, each of which is associated with an associated camera. An electronic controller assembly is configured to take a set of images each instance a substrate having substrate reference marks has been placed on a chuck, with each image containing a chuck reference mark and a substrate reference mark. For each image, the position of the chuck relative to the camera and the position of the substrate relative to the camera is determined. Subsequently, the substrate position relative to the chuck is calculated and based thereon the firing of the at least one nozzle is timed and the movement of the printing motion assembly is controlled so that the liquid drops are accurately positioned on the substrate.
