Abstract

A method and apparatus for front to back substrate registration is described. Alignment characteristics of features on surfaces of substrates can be used to physically align substrates with a multiplicity of integrated alignment optics. Measurement of offsets of the integral alignment optics are used to compute registration data for use in calibration of the substrate global alignment.
