Abstract
Methods are disclosed for determining charging related to one or more semiconductor processing steps. A wafer having a substantially unpolarized ferroelectric capacitor formed therein is exposed to a processing operation. After processing, the ferroelectric capacitor is measured to determine the extent to which the processing operation polarized the ferroelectric capacitor, and a process related charging value is determined according to the ferroelectric capacitor polarization.
