Abstract:
1. A semiconductor fabrication system, comprising: a first semiconductor fabrication tool; a software application, in communication with the first semiconductor fabrication tool, configured to determine first specified qualities of the first chamber in performing the at least one process, a second chamber configured to perform at least one process on a semiconductor wafer; wherein the software application is further configured to determine second specified qualities of the second chamber in performing the at least one process, wherein the second specified qualities include: a processing time required to perform the at least one process of the second chamber, a rate of producing defective output products of the at least one process of the second chamber, a uniformity of output products of the at least one process of the second chamber, and a capability index of the at least one process of the second chamber, and wherein the software application is further configured to receive a request from an external application to qualify the first and second chambers for a first requested process and make accessible information relating to the first and second specified qualities of the first and second chambers.
