Abstract

Process reproducibility is a challenging problem in semiconductor manufacturing as the component size shrinks and the manufacturing complexity increases. This paper proposes a new adaptive run-to-run controller for intermittent batch operations and applies it to a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process at AMD. The adaptive controller has a self-monitoring component and requires little process knowledge to set up. The success of the controller is demonstrated on an AST SHS 2800 RTA system.
