Abstract

An integrated circuit wafer system includes an integrated circuit wafer, measuring thicknesses of the integrated circuit wafer, calculating a change in temperature ramp rates and thickness offsets for subsequent processing based on the temperature ramp rates for prior processing and the resultant thicknesses, and calculating an average temperature and deposition time for subsequent processing based on calculated changes in temperature ramp rates, coupled with the average temperature, deposition time for prior processing, and the resultant thicknesses.
