  • Patent number: 9818657
    Abstract: A first etching rate of the first conductive film is calculated by acquiring correlation between an opening ratio of an etching mask and an etching rate of an etching target film, and then, performing a first dry etching to a first conductive film formed on a first wafer. Next, a second etching mask is formed on a second conductive film formed on a second wafer, and an etching time of the second conductive film is determined from the correlation between the opening ratio and the etching rate, the first etching rate, and a film thickness of the second conductive film when the second conductive film is subjected to a second dry etching in time-controlled etching.

  • Publication number: 20090299512
    Abstract: In the manufacturing system and the manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using a plasma treatment apparatus, a plasma treatment condition is controlled so that a desired shape is obtained after the plasma processing by using a processing shape prediction model for calculating the shape after the plasma processing from the inspection data of a wafer to be treated prior to the treatment and a response surface model for calculating the processing shape depending on a plasma treatment condition. In this configuration, the processing shape prediction model has an adjustable prediction model coefficient, and this prediction model coefficient is automatically calibrated.
