Described herein are technologies to facilitate the fabrication of substrates, such as semiconductor wafers. More particularly, technologies described herein facilitate the correct placement of patterns of lines and spaces on a substrate. The resulting patterned substrate is the product of photolithography process and/or the pattern transference (e.g., etching) that occurs during the fabrication of substrates (e.g., semiconductor wafers). The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
