    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a vacuum processing apparatus for performing a multi-step processing operation for a sample, a sensor for monitoring process parameters during at least a first step of the processing operation, a signal compression unit for compressing a signal from the sensor to generate an apparatus state signal, a worked result estimate model unit which estimates a processed result on the basis of the apparatus state signal and a set processed-result estimation equation, an optimum recipe calculation model unit which calculates corrections to processing conditions so that the processed result becomes a target value, a usable recipe selecting unit which judges validity of an optimum recipe. At a next step of the processing operation, sample processing is performed under optimum conditions on the basis of the usable recipe selected by the selected usable recipe.

    摘要: A semiconductor processing apparatus for processing a semiconductor wafer includes a sensor for monitoring a processing state of the semiconductor processing apparatus, a processing result input unit which inputs measured values for processing results of a semiconductor wafer processed by the semiconductor processing apparatus, and a model equation generation unit relying on sensed data acquired by the sensor and the measured values to generate a model equation for predicting a processing result using the sensed data as an explanatory variable. The apparatus includes a processing result prediction unit which predicts a processing result based on the model equation and the sensed data, and a process recipe control unit which compares the predicted processing result with a previously set value to control a processing condition or input parameter. The process recipe control unit includes a controller which controls at least one of a plurality of different processing performances for processing of the semiconductor wafer.
