Patent ID: 7020537

Claim:
A method in a computing system for automatically configuring parameters controlling operation of an electrochemical deposition chamber to deposit material on each of a sequence of workpieces to improve conformity with a specified deposition pattern, comprising: for each of the sequence of workpieces, measuring thicknesses of the workpiece before material is deposited on the workpiece; for each of the sequence of workpieces, measuring thicknesses of the workpiece after material is deposited on the workpiece; and for each of the sequence of workpieces, configuring the parameters for depositing material on the workpiece based on the specified deposition pattern, the measured thickness of the current workpiece before material is deposited on the current workpiece, the measured thickness of the previous workpiece in the sequence before material is deposited on the previous workpiece, the parameters used for depositing material on the previous workpiece, and the measured thicknesses of the previous workpiece after material is deposited on the previous workpiece.
