Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an apparatus. The apparatus according to the present disclosure may include a communication interface, one or more memories, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to: control the thin-film deposition devices to execute the thin-film deposition process by accessing the memory and executing a recipe; obtain in-process thin-film state data of the thin film from the thin-film measurement result received via the communication interface during the thin-film deposition process; and derive post-process thin-film state data of the thin film from the process condition data, the sensing data, and the in-process thin-film state data using a first correlation model.
