Abstract
A method for aligning to a pattern on a wafer is disclosed. The method includes the steps of obtaining a first inline image from a first sample wafer, obtaining a first contour pattern of an alignment mark pattern from the first inline image, using the first contour pattern to generate a first synthetic image in black and white pixels of only two grayscale levels, using the first synthetic image as a reference to recognize the alignment mark pattern on a tested wafer, and aligning to a tested pattern on the tested wafer according to a position of the alignment mark pattern on the tested wafer and a coordinate information.
