US Patent 11513445 Tunable wavelength see-through layer stack

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of aligning a wafer pattern. For example, the method can include providing a wafer having a reference pattern located below a front side of the wafer, and directing a light beam to the wafer. The method can further include identifying at least one of power and a wavelength of the light beam such that the light beam is capable of passing through the wafer and reaching the reference pattern, or identifying at least one of power and a wavelength of the light beam based on at least one of a material of the wafer and a depth of the reference pattern below the front side of the wafer. The method can further include using the light beam to image the reference pattern.
