spiral search starts from the model situated after the third model. The
search ending positions are the same as for the second model.
In case both directional spiral searches for the second model fail, the
system starts the whole alignment procedure again, on the upper
1
/
3
of the
wafer. This includes finding the first model again, and searching for the
second and the third models using index spiral search and directional
search if needed.
If the system still fails to find the second model, the alignment procedure is
repeated again on the lower
1
/
3
of the wafer. If finding the second model
still fails, the whole alignment procedure fails and the user assistance is
required.
The algorithm for finding the third model is identical to that for finding the
second model, given above.
The directional search areas are limited by the align area of the wafer. The
search is never performed outside the Align Area (parameter defined in
the Align category).
This limitation may cause any of the directional spiral searches not to take
place.
6.1.3.3.2 Main Model Detection
Once the low models have been found, the system starts looking for the
main model to perform the fine alignment. If the main model is not found,
the system performs an index spiral search.
.
If the index spiral search fails, the system performs one directional spiral
search, starting from the model situated next to the first model, in the
direction of the second model on the X-Axis, as long as the distance from
the second model is more than ½ of the align area.
Unlike the search for low models, the search for main models is carried out
in the direction from the workpiece periphery to the center as shown in
Figure 6-14.
In case this search fails, the system begins the fine (main) alignment over
again on the upper
1
/
3
of the wafer. This includes a spiral search and a
Note: The search for the second model is performed in the direction from the
center to the edge and the search for the third model is performed from the
edge towards the center.
