发明名称 CONTROLLING CRITICAL DIMENSIONS OF STRUCTURES FORMED ON A WAFER IN SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING
摘要 <p>In semiconductor processing, the critical dimensions of structures formed on a wafer are controlled by first developing photoresist on top of a film layer on a wafer using a developer tool, the photoresist development being a function of developer tool process variables including temperature and length of time of development. After developing the photoresist, one or more etching steps are performed on the film layer on the wafer using an etch tool. After the one or more etching steps are performed, critical dimensions of structures at a plurality of locations on the wafer are measured using an optical metrology tool. After the critical dimensions are measured, one or more of the developer tool process variables are adjusted based on the critical dimensions of structures measured at the plurality of locations on the wafer.</p>
