Abstract
A method and system for monitoring and controlling a semiconductor process are provided. The method includes: forming at least one active region on a substrate; forming a first patterned photoresist layer for defining at least two word lines on the active region after forming the active region; detecting and measuring positions and dimensions of the active region and the first patterned photoresist layer and calculating estimated areas of at least two estimated contact windows in the active region according to a predefined position of at least one bit line; adjusting the predefined position of the at least one bit line according to the estimated areas of the at least two estimated contact windows in the active region; and forming a second patterned photoresist layer on the substrate. The second patterned photoresist layer corresponds to the adjusted predefined position of the at least one bit line.
