Abstract

See full text

A method and system for removing control action effects from inline measurement data for tool condition monitoring is disclosed. An exemplary method includes determining a control action effect that contributes to an inline measurement, wherein the inline measurement indicates a wafer characteristic of a wafer processed by a process tool; and evaluating the inline measurement without the control action effect contribution to determine a condition of the process tool.
