Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a method for aligning a wafermap with a semiconductor wafer. The method may comprise assigning a location code to each of a plurality of dies on the wafermap. Each of the plurality of dies on the wafermap can correspond to each of a plurality of dies on the semiconductor wafer. The method may also comprise scanning an approximate location of a reference die on the semiconductor wafer with a die detection sensor based on the location code corresponding to a location of the reference die on the wafermap and determining a physical location of the reference die on the semiconductor wafer using the die detection sensor. The method may further comprise correlating the physical location of the reference die on the semiconductor wafer with the respective location code corresponding to the reference die on the wafermap.
