Zusammenfassung:A wafer orientation sensor includes a laser source, a laser detector, and an evaluator. The laser source is configured to emit a laser beam in a direction of a wafer in an evaluation region of the wafer orientation sensor so that the laser beam is reflected at a main surface of the wafer resulting in a reflected laser beam. The laser detector is configured to receive the reflected laser beam at least when the wafer is within a tolerance range regarding the orientation of the wafer. The evaluator is configured to receive a beam reception information from the laser detector and to determine an orientation information based on the beam reception information.
