Abstract
System and method for carrying out a process on an integrated circuit. The method includes reading a data key including subkeys, determining a process parameter set using a parameter directory in a manner dependent on the data key read in, and setting the parameters required for the process in accordance with the process parameter set determined. The parameter directory includes rule keys each having subkeys, which are each assigned predeterminable values from a plurality of values, and at least one subkey is assigned a wildcard, and a plurality of process parameter sets each respectively assigned at least one rule key. The step of determining a parameter set includes comparing the data key read in with the rule keys stored in the parameter directory, determining the rule key(s) whose subkeys match those of the data key read in, and outputting the process parameter set(s) assigned to the rule key(s) determined.
