All about Wafer Pre Aligner and Wafer Automation Wafer pre-aligner plays a vital role in wafer manufacturing. It positions wafers accurately before they get transferred onto the exposure platform. The positioning accuracy significantly affects the wafer's exposure accuracy and the whole manufacture system's work efficiency. The paper makes an overview of wafer pre-aligner from the following features: mechanical structure, machine vision, working principle, and the algorithm on the detection of the wafer edge.

The technology has evolved, and it has become more manageable for specialists to operate the tools and services with fully automatic controls. It was only possible to manually repair electronic devices in earlier times, and experts were required to do so. Let's take an example, in computers; the integrated chips are used, we call them small wafers or circuits that include several components, and each of them is interlinked. If any of the parts get broken, the whole computer stops functioning. To connect the device manually, it takes a lot of time, and still, there is no guarantee that after spending a massive amount of time and money on repair service, it will work well or not. That's the reason that mechanical experts go for wafer handling automation products.
