Abstract:
A system and method for performing a wet etching process is disclosed. The system includes multiple processing stations accessible by a transfer device, including a measuring station to optically measure the thickness of a wafer before and after each etching steps in the process. The system also includes a controller to analyze the thickness measurements in view of a target wafer profile and generate an etch recipe, dynamically and in real time, for each etching step. In addition, the process controller can cause a single wafer wet etching station to etch the wafer according to the generated etching recipes. In addition, the system can, based on the pre and post-etch thickness measurements and target etch profile, generate and/or refine the etch recipes.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 6 , further comprising, displaying, using the configured processor on a display, the wafer profile data and displaying a graphical representation of the measured initial thickness, the reference height of one or more TSVs, the sum of the via height and the etch offset and the final target wafer thickness profile for each respective radial location of the wafer.
