Abstract

See full text

A processing line includes a deposition tool, a metrology tool and a controller. The deposition tool is adapted to form a polysilicon layer on a wafer in accordance with a recipe. The metrology tool is adapted to measure a grain size of the polysilicon layer. The controller is adapted to modify the recipe for subsequently formed polysilicon layers based on the measured grain size. A method for controlling a deposition process includes forming a polysilicon layer on a wafer in accordance with a recipe; measuring a grain size of the polysilicon layer; and changing the recipe for subsequently formed polysilicon layers based on the measured grain size.
