Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for creating dynamic models of etch processes in semiconductor manufacturing. In one embodiment, a method comprises modeling an etch process used in semiconductor manufacturing to generate a dynamic process model. The dynamic process model is used to determine input values that result in a desired output value. A process recipe is optimized for the etch process with the input values.
