Abstract
A method of making a semiconductor device includes comparing a thickness profile of a surface of a wafer with a reference value using a control unit. The method further includes transmitting a control signal to an adjustable nozzle based on the comparison of the thickness profile and the reference value. The method further includes rotating the adjustable nozzle about a longitudinal axis of the adjustable nozzle in response to the control signal.
