Abstract

See full text

In the photoexposure of semiconductor wafers for the production of circuit elements, the wafers are placed in a prealignment position before being transferred to the exposure stage. A chuck acting as a prepositioning stage is rotatable by one servomotor to set the wafer in its appropriate angular position (.phi. adjustment) and is shiftable by respective servomotors in the X and Y directions. Servomotor control is effected by optical means detecting a noncircular edge portion of the wafer as well as alignment marks on the wafer inwardly of the edge thereof.
