Abstract

A method and apparatus for process integration in manufacture of a gate structure of a field effect transistor are disclosed. The method includes assembling an integrated substrate processing system having a metrology module and a vacuumed processing platform to perform controlled and adaptive plasma processes without exposing the substrate to a non-vacuumed environment.
