Abstract

See full text

A method for controlling a plating process includes plating a process layer on a wafer in accordance with a recipe; measuring a thickness of the process layer; and determining at least one plating parameter of the recipe for subsequently formed process layers based on the measured thickness. A processing line includes a plating tool, a metrology tool, and a process controller. The plating tool is adapted to form a process layer on a wafer in accordance with a recipe. The metrology tool is adapted to measure a thickness of the process layer. The process controller is adapted to determine at least one plating parameter of the recipe for subsequently formed process layers based on the measured thickness.
