A position detection apparatus, characterized in that the apparatus comprises a processor and a memory, in which at least one instruction or program is stored, which is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the method of position detection of a wafer according to any of claims 1 to 6.
9. A position detection system, comprising:
the PSD sensor assembly is used for measuring the position of a target wafer on the slide holder to obtain a position signal;
a position detection device for acquiring the position signal; calculating an offset distance according to the position signal, wherein the offset distance is used for indicating the offset between the position of a first moment when the target wafer is placed on the slide holder and the position of a second moment when coarse alignment is carried out; when the offset distance exceeds a distance threshold, compensating the initial position of the target wafer according to the offset distance, wherein the initial position is the initial position of the target wafer in the rough alignment process of the photoetching.
10. A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein at least one instruction or program for loading and execution by a processor to implement the method of wafer position detection as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6.
