If you need to align an exposure to an existing pattern on a wafer you need wafer marks (or global marks).
If you need to align an exposure to an existing pattern on a wafer you need wafer marks (or global marks) to align your exposure to. If you are exposing chips (i.e. many small GDS-files you repeat in a matrix), chip marks is recommended to align every chip.


'''Please note that manual alignment (using the SEM) is no longer allowed.''' You should use semi-automatic alignment only. In rare cases where semi-automatic alignment is impossible, you should remove the resist around the wafer marks before loading the wafer/chip into the machine.
