Abstract: ＣＤ（臨界寸法）変化を減少するために半導体ウエハを処理する方法及び装置は、検査中に集められた情報を前に行った処理手段へフィードバックし、ウエハが受ける次の処理を調節するために情報をフィードホワードする。検査及び処理は、ウエハを大気の状態に曝すことなく単一の処理モジュールにおいて行なわれる。実施例は、ウエハをセットから取り出し、ウエハ表面上のフィーチャの寸法、例えば光学測定手段を用いてフィーチャのＣＤを測定する。その後、処理、例えばエッチング処理が、ＣＤ測定に基づいて選択された処理パラメータの値の組、例えばエッチングレシピを用いてウエハ上で行なわれ、ウエハはカセットへ戻される。また、ＣＤ測定は、ステッパーの焦点及び露光設定のようなホトリソグラフィの調整可能なパラメータにリンクされる。焦点及び露光に関するリンクされた情報は、ステッパーが次のロットのずれを修正するために自動的にあるいはユーザの判断で調整することができるように、前に行ったホトセルへフィードバックされる。ある実施例では、エッチング後の処理、例えばアッシュストリッピング、ウエットクリーニングおよび/または他のＣＤ測定は、きれいな環境内で行われ、これによりウエハを大気に曝すこと及びステップ間での汚染を避けることによって歩留まりを増大する。このフィードバック及びフィードホワードは、ウエハの測定のＣＤに基づいてウエハごとの処理パラメータを調整することによってＣＤ制御を改善する。
