Abstract

Embodiments of wet processing systems and methods for uniform wet processing are disclosed. A method described in the present disclosure includes measuring one or more wafer characteristics of a wafer using a plurality of detectors and determining a wafer profile of the wafer based on the measured one or more wafer characteristics. The method also includes setting first and second sets of wet processing parameters of a wet processing system for respective first and second wafer regions based on the wafer profile, where a value of at least one wet processing parameter is different between the first and second sets of wet processing parameters. The method further includes performing wet processing on the wafer by dispensing one or more chemicals onto the first and second wafer regions according to the respective first and second sets of wet processing parameters.
