Abstract

In an embodiment, a system includes: a wafer pod defining a cavity configured to store a wafer at a wafer position; calibration sensors within the cavity, each calibration sensor configured to produce calibration data indicating that the wafer is at a respective part of the cavity; and a processor configured to determine whether the wafer is positioned at the wafer position within the cavity based on the calibration data.
