Abstract
A method includes performing at least one process for forming a feature of a semiconductor device in accordance with an operating recipe. An electrical performance characteristic of the feature is measured. The measured electrical performance characteristic is compared to a target value for the electrical performance characteristic. At least one parameter of the operating recipe is determined based on the comparison. A system includes a process tool, a metrology tool, and a controller. The process tool is configured to perform at least one process for forming a feature of a semiconductor device in accordance with an operating recipe. The metrology tool is configured to measure an electrical performance characteristic of the feature. The controller is configured to compare the measured electrical performance characteristic to a target value for the electrical performance characteristic and determine at least one parameter of the operating recipe based on the comparison.
