Abstract

See full text

A coefficient of a function that relates a measurement from a wafer to a parameter used in making the measurement (such as the power of a beam used in the measurement) is determined. The coefficient is used to evaluate the wafer (e.g. to accept or reject the wafer for further processing), and/or to control fabrication of another wafer. In one embodiment, the coefficient is used to control operation of a wafer processing unit (that may include, e.g. an ion implanter), or a heat treatment unit (such as a rapid thermal annealer).
