  • Method for controlling a semiconductor manufacturing process
    Patent number: 6582973
    Abstract: A method for dynamically controlling a semiconductor manufacturing process for producing a semiconductor component includes performing a plurality of process segments. Each respective process segment is performed for a respective processing interval. The method includes the steps of: (a) determining a relationship among respective process intervals for at least two particular process segments of the plurality of process segments; (b) determining a first respective process interval required for a first particular process segment to effect a desired result in the semiconductor component; and (c) using the relationship to establish the respective process interval required for at least one selected particular process segment in order to fix the respective process interval for a controlled process segment other than the at least one selected particular process segment.
