Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0141193A1] The invention relates to a simple and cost-effective method for aligning substrates. In order to achieve this, the invention provides a device for aligning disc-shaped substrates, in particular semiconductor wafers, comprising an alignment detection unit, at least one first support for receiving the substrate, which forms an oblique plane in relation to the horizontal, a stop against which the substrate can be displaced as a result of the oblique angle and a rotational device for rotating the substrate. The invention also relates to a method for aligning disc-shaped substrates, in particular semiconductor wafers, comprising the following steps: displacement of the substrate into an oblique position in relation to the horizontal, in which the substrate is held on a support which forms a tilted plane in relation to the horizontal and lies against a stop as a result of the oblique angle; rotation of the substrate into a predefined rotational position; and monitoring of the rotational position using a detection unit.
