Abstract

An alignment mark (51) is formed on the surface (64) of a silicon carbide substrate (50). The alignment mark (51) is used to reflect a light signal (72) to determine the proper position for the silicon carbide substrate (50). The materials that are used to form the alignment mark (51) can be used to form an alignment mark on any transparent or semi-transparent substrate and will maintain physical integrity through very high temperature processing steps.
