word, with reference to Fig. 4,
Figure BDA00002261997400094
distance between each square of word limit adjacent with ╋ word is 0, and relative the first wafer of the second wafer is not offset in bonding process; With reference to Fig. 5,
Figure BDA00002261997400095
distance between each square of word limit adjacent with ╋ word vertical direction is 0, and distance between the limit adjacent with ╋ crossline direction is not quite similar, can determine that the second image 21', with respect to the first image 11', skew has occurred in bonding process, then by measuring
Figure BDA00002261997400096
distance between each square of word limit adjacent with ╋ crossline direction just can be determined offset distance.In fact, in the present embodiment, only need to select one of them square, as the square I in the upper right corner, the distance of measuring between the limit that this square I is adjacent with ╋ word crossline direction is d, and obtaining the first image 11' and the second image 21' is d at the offset distance of crossline direction.In like manner, with reference to Fig. 6, by the distance of measuring between the limit that square I is adjacent with ╋ word vertical direction, be l, obtaining the first image 11' and the second image 21' is l at the offset distance of vertical direction.
