Abstract
A method for determining a control parameter for an apparatus used in a semiconductor manufacturing process, the method including: obtaining performance data associated with a substrate subject to the semiconductor manufacturing process; obtaining die specification data including values of an expected yield of one or more dies on the substrate based on the performance data and/or a specification for the performance data; and determining the control parameter in dependence on the performance data and the die specification data. Advantageously, the efficiency and/or accuracy of processes is improved by determining how to perform the processes in dependence on dies within specification.
