Advanced process control with novel sampling policy

摘要

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor manufacturing method. The method includes performing a first process to a first plurality of semiconductor wafers; determining a sampling rate to the first plurality of semiconductor wafers based on process quality; determining sampling fields and sampling points to the first plurality of semiconductor wafers; measuring a subset of the first plurality of semiconductor wafers according to the sampling rate, the sampling fields and the sampling points; modifying a second process according to the measuring; and applying the second process to a second plurality of semiconductor wafers.
