Zusammenfassung:	Methods for determining the planarity of two components of a semiconductor processing tool, such as a 3D wafer bonder are disclosed. The two components may be fixtures, chucks, or platens of the tool. A test wafer comprising multiple solder balls is compressed and the deformity of multiple solder balls is measured to assess the planarity of the tool. The measurement of the deformed solder balls may be performed manually, or with an automated wafer inspection tool, which may use lasers to measure the height of each solder ball. The planarity of the two components is computed based on the height of the deformed solder balls.
