Abstract
A method includes identifying a material associated with a substrate processing operation of a recipe. The method further includes determining an expected total residual thickness value subsequent to the substrate processing operation. The method further includes determining, based on the expected total residual thickness value, an expected material thickness value of the material associated with the substrate processing operation. The method further includes updating the recipe based on the material and the expected material thickness value of the material to generate an updated recipe. The method further includes causing a substrate to be processed based on the updated recipe.
