Abstract

An alignment device for aligning a wafer handling robot in a wafer processing system includes a substrate having a through-hole. A sensor is mounted on a first surface of the substrate, and configured to capture, via the through-hole, information relating to a position of the alignment device in the wafer processing system. A transmitter is mounted on the first surface of the substrate and coupled to the sensor. The transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit the information captured by the sensor. The transmitted information enables to determine whether the alignment device is within a threshold distance from a target position in the wafer processing system and to adjust the position of the alignment device. A method of aligning the wafer handling robot utilizing the alignment wafer, and a frame and method for calibrating the alignment wafer are also provided.
