Abstract
The increased demand on throughput in semiconductor manufacturing often leads to a lag between the processing and metrology of wafers at a manufacturing step. This metrology lag results in a detrimental impact on the performance of a process under run-to-run control. This paper analyzes the performance of processes under exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) run-to-run control by considering time-delayed closed-loop processes with mismatch between the process and the process model. The closed-loop performance bounds for EWMA controlled processes with delays of 0−2 runs are derived using modified stability analysis tools. Several simulations are provided to illustrate the importance of considering metrology delay and plant−model mismatch explicitly in controller performance and tuning.
