  • Method for improving a drive current for semiconductor devices on a wafer-by-wafer basis
    Patent number: 7153711
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing semiconductor devices, a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit, and a method for improving a drive current for semiconductor devices on a wafer-by-wafer basis. The method for manufacturing semiconductor devices, among other elements, includes patterning gate structures on a substrate (220), each of the gate structures having a profile associated therewith, and obtaining information representative of the profiles of the gate structures (240). In accordance with the present invention the information may then be fed forward to alter a manufacturing parameter associated with a drive current of the semiconductor devices (250).
