Abstract
Embodiments herein provide for a method of processing a semiconductor substrate. The method described herein may include receiving a first input corresponding to a first geometric hardware configuration of a process chamber, receiving a second input corresponding to a first process recipe of the process chamber, determining, based on the first input and the second input, a first purge gas flow rate for the process chamber, measuring a deposition characteristic of the process chamber via a first sensor, determining, based on the first input, the second input, and the measured deposition characteristic, a second purge gas flow rate, the second purge gas flow rate different from the first purge gas flow rate, and flowing a purge gas at the second purge gas flow rate during a deposition process.
