摘要: A method for polishing wafers includes providing a wafer having process layer formed thereon; tool plurality of control zones and being adapted to polish the based on an operating recipe, recipe variable corresponding each zones; measuring pre-polish thickness profile layer; comparing target determine desired removal profile; determining values variables associated with modifying determined variables. processing line tool, metrology controller.
