Dynamic targeting for a process control system

摘要

A method and an apparatus for dynamic targeting for a process control system. A process step is performed upon a first workpiece in a batch based upon a process target setting. The process target setting comprises at least one parameter relating to a target characteristic of the first workpiece. Manufacturing data relating to processing of the first workpiece is acquired. The manufacturing data comprises at least one of a metrology data relating to the processed first workpiece and a tool state data relating to the tool state of a processing tool. Electrical data relating to the processed first workpiece is acquired at least partially during processing of a second workpiece in the batch. The process target setting is adjusted dynamically based upon a correlation of the electrical data with the manufacturing data.
