Abstract

First feedforward calculation is executed when a preprocessing surface profile is measured and a processing chamber with its processing parameter value having been obtained through the first feedforward calculation judged to be within an allowable range is determined. Wafer transfer is executed only in conjunction with a processing chamber having a processing parameter value judged to be within the allowable range, and the wafer is carried to the entry point of the processing chamber. Then, second feedforward calculation is executed by reflecting the results of feedback calculation executed based upon the most recent processing having been executed in the particular processing chamber and wafer processing is executed in the processing chamber based upon the processing parameter value calculated in the second feedforward calculation.
