摘要:
A method of automatically configuring an Advanced Process Control (APC) system for a semiconductor manufacturing environment in which an auto-configuration script is generated for executing an auto-configuration program. The auto-configuration script activates default values for input to the auto-configuration program. The auto-configuration script is executed to generate an enabled parameter file output from the auto-configuration program. The enabled parameter file identifies parameters for statistical process control (SPC) chart generation.
摘要:
A system and a computer-implemented method of operating a processing system in which a process model is selected from a menu of process models available from the processing system. In the module and method, an experiment is designed having a number of process runs for characterization of the selected process model. Process runs to collect data are executed on a processing tool coupled to the processing system. The actual process results from the process runs are measured. The process model is solved for coefficients of the process model.

The present invention is directed to a method for thermally processing a substrate in a thermal processing system. The method provides an amount of heat to the substrate and obtains information associated with the substrate when the amount of heat is provided. For example, the substrate is provided at a presoak position within the thermal processing system, wherein the presoak position, and one or more properties associated with the substrate, such as a position and temperature, are measured. An optimal process parameter value to provide an optimal thermal uniformity of the substrate is then determined, based, at least in part, on the information obtained from the substrate. For example, a soak position of the substrate is determined, wherein the determination is based, at least in part, on the one or more measured properties associated with the substrate, and a thermal uniformity associated with a reference data set.
