#Make a pre-stress measurement. Measure the wafer bow on one of the stylus profilometers ([[Specific Process Knowledge/Characterization/Profiler#Dektak XTA_new stylus profiler|Dektak XTA_new]] or [[Specific Process Knowledge/Characterization/Profiler#Dektak _8 stylus _profiler|Dektak 8]]). Save the measurement. It is a good idea to measure across most of the wafer (at least along 70% of the wafer diameter) in two directions perpendicular to each other.
