Abstract

A method for configuring a process for treating a semiconductor wafer. A minimum layer thickness of a transferred layer to be provided is determined to obtain a processed layer that has a preselected target thickness and target maximum density of through holes that extend completely therethrough, by conducting a predetermined finishing sequence of operations that improve the surface quality of the layer. The minimum thickness is determined such that the density of through holes remains below the target maximum density after each operation in the finishing sequence.
